264:365 Picadilly Theatre, once upon a time

I wish I knew more about the Picadilly Theatre in Williamsburg, a tiny little town south of Ottawa on Highway 31. It looks like it used to be a lovely little place, but it's been abandoned for a long time. We drove through today in search of flea market treasures -- I found another Kodak Duaflex, this one a Duaflex II, and another delightful find that will likely make its way into the 365 tomorrow...

Edited to add: Thanks to Angela, I got the name of the town right (that helps) and then found this information: opened in July 1935, closed since 1959, but still proudly standing. Here's more if you're curious. It's a texture-lovers dream, and I'm grateful that my family is indulgent enough of my photo peccadilloes to let me stop on a drizzly day and capture it!
