Located opposite the State Parliament building, the magnificent Princess Theatre opened in 1886 with a seating capacity of 2,162. It was designed by theatre architect William Pitt. In 1915 it was taken over by the Fuller brothers- Benjamín & John, and the usual programmes were plays and musicals. From 1910 and into the 1920’s there were occasional film presentations. In 1921-22, some alterations were carried out to the building by theatre architect Henry Eli White.
