Canby Theater

The Canby Theatre is located in the downtown section of Canby. Built in 1937 and opening as the New Canby Theatre with 600 seats, the blond brick building not only houses the theatre but five retail spaces and five apartments on the second floor. 


The new Canby Theatre, built and opened in 1939 by William Flieder, was designed by an architect (Mr. Crosier) who employed an art deco motif. A local highway contractor, J. J. Govercki, excavated the full basement. Gordon Victor, a local hardware store owner, started construction which was later taken over and finished by Swedberg Brothers of Wheaton, MN. Finishing touches were placed on modernistic decorations under the supervision of Minneapolis interior decorator Otto Nielsen.  

(~William Flieder's daughter -discussion)


The originally single screen theatre added a second screen around 1982. It is still in operation showing first-run films.
