Theatre façade gets the tick

Passersby on Hamilton’s Victoria Street got the first look at another section of the Regional Theatre’s new façade after scaffolding was removed on Wednesday.

The appearance of a fresh section of the restored plaster façade of the old hotel frontage is another visible milestone for locals and visitors in the ongoing construction of the 1300-seat theatre that promises to revolutionise entertainment in the city.

The decision to preserve the building’s neoclassical façade is getting the tick from people seeing it for the first time, who say it blends old and new.
