Roseland Theatre, Motion picture theater in New Glasgow, Canada
The Roseland Theatre stands at the intersection of Forbes and Provost Streets, featuring a three-story brick structure with a traditional theater marquee.
Built in 1913 after a fire destroyed previous buildings, the Roseland Theatre served as one of two primary film venues in the Pictou County region.
In 1946, the theater gained national attention when Viola Desmond challenged racial segregation by sitting in the downstairs section reserved for white patrons.
The building underwent renovations in 1929 to accommodate sound films and included the only balcony seating arrangement among theaters in New Glasgow.
A neon rose decoration positioned above the marquee made the Roseland Theatre instantly recognizable throughout the New Glasgow community.
