After some searching, I have come up with nothing, does anyone have any photos of this place before the renovations?
 
It depends on which renovation, there were about a dozen since it opened. There's a great book on the Elgin called "Double Take The Story of the Elgin & Wintergarden Theatres" which has lots of photos of the theatre in it's various incarnations over the decades including it's last two renovations, for CATS and then the major reno. in the late 80's, it also includes great photos of other Thomas Lamb theatres. I lost my copy in a flood last year but I see it's available on amazon.ca & when I worked at the Elgin in the late 90's they sold this book in the souvenir shop in the lobby. It shouldn't be hard to get a copy of it, it's really worth having if your a fan of the theatre, I must replace mine too.
 
picture of the theatre at open doors 2013..... not before the renovations thought...... pictures look a bit dark though

This is a very old and inactive thread but seems the best place to post this photo, 'they' have been working on the south wall and have installed (or actually re-installed) a 'poster'.

It was obviously there "originally" as seen (just!) in the 2014 StreetView below..

Excellent photo. Good to see that work being done too. I do hope they do some work on the east elevation as well. That blackened brick has never flattered the building.
