Regent Theatre, Heritage-listed movie theater in Queen Street, Brisbane, Australia
The Regent Theatre features a grand marble staircase, ornate plasterwork, and chandeliers throughout its entrance hall with a high barrel-vaulted ceiling on Queen Street.
Built between 1928 and 1929 at a cost of £300,000, the Regent Theatre opened with Fox Movietone Follies and accommodated 2,500 patrons in its original configuration.
The building incorporates Gothic, Baroque, Art Deco, and Neo-classical design elements, representing the architectural trends of 1920s entertainment venues in Australia.
The Queensland Heritage Register protects the main staircase and entrance of the Regent Theatre, which underwent redevelopment into a multi-screen cinema complex in 1979.
The Regent Theatre stands as one of only four Hoyts picture palaces constructed in Australia during the 1920s golden age of cinema architecture.
