The North Sydney Coliseum Theatre was built in 1911 and had two side by side theatres. The smaller theatre at left was primarily for vaudeville and later became the Independent Theatre in 1938 when Doris Fitton’s company moved in. The larger theatre was a cinema, taken over by Union Theatres in 1921 who invested the equivalent of $1.3 milion in today’s money remodeling it and opened as the Union Deluxe Theatre.

In the mid-1930’s it was run by Hoyts who shortened the name to Union Theatre.

It was used for storage during World War II and damaged by a fire. After various retail uses it was remodeled into apartments known as Regency Park.

The Union was close to Hoyts Crows Nest theatre, the Sesqui and the North Sydney Orpheum.
