Barkly Theatre 281-283 Barkly Street, Footscray, VIC

The Barkly Theatre opened on 17th October 1914 with pictures and vaudeville on the programme.

The architectural firm of William A.M. Blackett & Forster designed a splendid Edwardian Baroque style building which was richly decorated.

Originally the exterior of the building had a tower located at each end on top of the facade which had the name of the theatre mounted on top. Today only the stumps of the towers remain.
