Crest Theatre, Granville, Heritage theatre in Granville, Australia.

The Crest Theatre exhibits a vaulted ceiling auditorium with steel frame construction, concrete walls, stucco finish, and a corner entrance with tapered vertical pier.

Opening on Easter Saturday in March 1948, the Crest Theatre initially accommodated 852 people and featured an electric organ played by Miss Ruby Coulson during film screenings.

The interior preserves art-nouveau decorative elements, including original plasterwork, chandeliers, and candy bar details from the late 1940s entertainment period.

The theatre now functions as a community center at 157 Blaxcell Street, maintaining its structural features while adapting the floor plan for modern gatherings.

This structure represents one of two remaining Quonset-style cinemas in New South Wales, demonstrating post-World War II architectural adaptation for civilian entertainment purposes.
