Prince Regent Theatre Hamilton, VIC - A theatre of significance
The Regent Theatre is a typical example of the free Classical Revival style used for cinemas in the twenties and predates the more sophisticated architecture of the Depression and post-Depression booms in film-going. The alternative was the exotic styles of the great metropolitan cinemas although the regent is exotic enough with its combination of Adamesque and Mannerist details. Despite its conversion the building remains substantially intact and is in good condition. It is a critical element within the streetscape because of its complex forms and large scale.
