A short history of the Garden Theatre with ammendment in the comment section.

Might have to consult Mr Raymond Lo for the inauguration and demolision dates for these.  Cannot filter out the big chunk of Google results yet.

Dates are from Raymond Lo's description on the Cinema Treasures website. He also notes that "The theatre was converted from the former Land Office Building known as the Red House in Queen’s Road Central."

These Flickr comments say it was on the junction of Des Voeux Rd & Pottinger Street. I wasn't sure which corner, but looking at the photo the combination of tram power lines and shadows mean it must be on the NW corner.

Opening / completion date from the attached clipping.

There's an entry for this cinema on the Cinema Treasures website.

The name lives on - the current residential building on this site is named Liberty Mansion.
