Regent Theatre, Wollongong, Heritage-listed former cinema in Wollongong, Australia
Located at 197 Keira Street, the Regent Theatre features geometric Art Deco facades and criss-cross ceiling patterns adorned with plaster moldings.
Herbert Wyndham Jones purchased the land in 1934, but construction delays due to World War II postponed the theatre's opening until Boxing Day 1957.
The theater's interior design by Marion Hall Best incorporated innovative color schemes and materials that influenced Australian entertainment venue aesthetics.
The building underwent restoration in 2016, returning its facade to the original olive green color while maintaining its architectural integrity.
The installation of the Westrex Stereophonic Sound system in 1963 marked a technological advancement in cinema experiences for the Illawarra region.
