Empire Theater, Bridgetown
The Empire Theater was the first one in Bridgetown to present motion picture, so it basically has served as a multi-functional building since 1922, when it was opened. It had 859 seats and was a single screen venue; unfortunately its “lifespan” ended around 1975. The theater’s colonial revival structure makes it quite a unique finding in Bridgetown’s centre.
