Plaza Theatre, Movie theater in Paddington, Australia
The Plaza Theatre stands at 163-169 Latrobe Terrace with a gable roof, masonry walls, and eight street-front shops integrated into its structure.
Richard Gailey Junior designed this cinema in 1929 for Greater Brisbane Motion Pictures Ltd, with John Hutchinson managing the construction process.
The interior features a vaulted ceiling painted in Reckitt's Blue, Spanish-inspired proscenium arch, and decorative elements typical of atmospheric theaters.
The single-level auditorium contained 1,250 seats and operated daily until 1961, when television's popularity led to its transformation into an antiques center.
The theater opened during the transition from silent films to talkies, adapting its technical equipment to accommodate the new synchronized sound technology.
