Teck 766 Main St. "Shea's Teck was converted for 3-projector Cinerama in the 1950's and ran all films made in that format (both 3 projector and single projector) until the Cinerama era was over. Subsequently it ran "normal" films on the curved screen leftover from "single projector" Cinerama. "The theater was demolished in the aftermath of the destruction of Buffalo, N.Y. Main Street during the disastrous building of a subway system. Because of the extended construction public access to that and other historic downtown Buffalo theaters was totally cut off causing their bankruptcy and forcing the theater going public to attend films in suburban multiplexes. "The lot where the Teck stood is currently empty and covered with weeds." -- E. Summer LARGER VIEW BENEATH TOP PHOTO
