Centre Theatre, originally the Duchess, was once located at 772 Dundas St W (at Markham St on the northwest corner) in the Trinity-Bellwoods neighbourhood of Toronto.
Around 1940, the Duchess was renamed Centre Theatre.
The theatre was demolished, and today, the newer building is home to retail space.
