Paragon Theatre, Art deco theater in Queenstown, Australia.
The Paragon Theatre stands as a restored 1933 movie venue with a marble-patterned floor and 60 seats in a luxurious cinema setting.
The Mount Lyell Mining & Railway Company funded the construction of this theater, which opened its doors on October 28, 1933 with Mae West's film.
The theater transformed from a 1150-seat cinema to an indoor cricket stadium before becoming a modern entertainment center showing Australian environmental films.
Visitors can take self-guided tours for $7, exploring six interpretive stops with displays of memorabilia and original carbon-arc projectors.
The entire floor of the theater features hand-painted patterns that create the appearance of genuine marble throughout the building.
