Red brick theater built in 1966, replacing an earlier, more temporary structure that may have dated back to 1954. It closed in 1990 along with the nearby sugar factory. Converted into a banquet restaurant in the late 2000s but this business seems to have closed down, leaving it idle into the 2020s.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
