The last ABC cinema in
Glasgow closed 21st
October 2001.
Everything bar the facade has been demolished, and new flats were
constructed behind that. Additional windows have been added to the
frontage. The entrance foyer to the flats
feature reproductions of some of the decorative features rescued from
the auditorium, and a couple of tiles and light-fittings.
Catgory B
listed building.
Very run-down inside at time of closure, heating had been broken for
over a month;
Some of the original
atmospheric internal decoration
survived on the side walls of the auditorium (see here - but will be slow loading due to lots of
images).
Many of the original
fittings - doors, windows, lights
etc. were still in place at the time of closure.
