According to Tom Carter posting on the illustratedvancouver.ca site, the Columbia Theatre "...had 3 levels of opera boxes; 9 boxes on each side - 18 in total. The Columbia, along with the National Theatre nextdoor to the East, were converted into retail space with offices above in the early 1930s. They survived together until the 1980s when they were torn down."
