Do you know when the original Richmond Arts Centre opened?

The first Richmond Arts Centre was a black-and-white building that opened on Oct. 3, 1967.

It housed the art gallery and museum while there were meeting rooms and space for workshops for theatre, painting, sculpture, ceramics and the lapidary arts.

The centre was later razed to make way for the new building in 1991.
