The Paramount Block in Edmonton, including the historic Paramount Theatre, is up for receivership sale. The property, located on Jasper Avenue, is being sold as-is and free of financial encumbrances. It includes multiple buildings and was once home to a large movie theatre and a well-known restaurant. The Paramount Theatre, which opened in 1952 and closed in 2003, is on Edmonton's inventory of historic resources but lacks protected heritage status.
