The landmark Roxy Classic Theatre housed in the bright-blue Quonset hut on Quadra Street is for sale for $1.2 million.

An independent theatre since opening Feb. 1, 1949, the Roxy is owned by Walkey Nixon Amusements Ltd., and its director is Michael Sharpe, according to B.C. Corporate Registry documents. Sharpe bought the Roxy in 2007 from Victoria businessman Howie Siegel, who ran it for just over 21 years.

When Sharpe purchased the theatre, he renamed it the Roxy Classic to emphasize its heritage character. In 2008, he said that business was growing and he was not interested in selling the theatre. Sharpe could not be reached yesterday.

Siegel praised Sharpe's building upgrades. "He did significant renovations to the interior and to the outside of the theatre ... I don't think the place has looked better in years."

Although Siegel said he "loved" the Roxy, he said he was not interested in owning it again and has other commitments.
