In mid-November 1964, workmen demolished another link with Levin's old days when they tore down the auction mart which had operated there since the 1930s.
Designed and built in the early 1900s as the Cosmos Theatre, Mr E. J. Tomlinson had run the mart since 1941.
The Oxford Street building (to the north of The Chronicle) was replaced by a block of five shops.
This is a view of the building when it was a theatre, operated by Mr M. Fosella, who was a resident and businessman in Levin as early as 1897.
