East Finchley was rebuilt in the late 1930s.

More details on http://www.davros.org/rail/culg/northern.html.

If you look at the front of East Finchley station, there in an
'Underground' sign, but another plain glass panel of a sort of oval
shape with pointed ends. This used to be an LNER sign.

The Phoenix Cinema, on the other side of the road is worth a visit,
the auditorium dates from 1910, but was altered in 1938, it was
actually reversed, the screen used to be at the main road end. The
fiberous plaster bas reliefs on the side walls date from this
modernision. Further changes were made in the early '70s, and three
years ago it closed for several months for improvments to the foyer,
iincluding better disabled access, and new ladies toilets, but not the
gents, for some reason.

The projection equipment is relativly new, a single 1960s Kinoton
FP-20, installed there in the '80s, but the 1938 Strand Electric
dimmer board for the house lights is still there. Some 1910
decoration still exists in what is now the boiler house.
