History

260 Thayer Street began as the Toy Theater in 1915. The theater soon closed and became a parking garage until the Avon took over. According to [http://cinematreasures.org/theater/465/ Cinema Treasures] , the movie "Marty" premiered here, among others. They had what was also described as a "first-run 'class' policy" continuing through the 1960s. In the 1970s the Avon became a repertory house and was known as the Avon Repertory Cinema. In 1983, they returned to showing "first run foreign and domestic films of distinction." [ [http://cinematreasures.org/theater/465/ Cinema Treasures] ]
