Kerry Hill Architects’ State Theatre Centre for Perth celebrates transparency, opacity and the urban experience.
From the theatre's website: "This vintage movie house, built in 1935, stands next door to the Paramount Theatre and within sight of the State Capitol building. It was build on the site of the old Avenue Hotel which stood until after the turn of the century. The State Theatre originally served as a downtown movie house, which were popular during the era, along with many others like The Paramount, The Queen, which stood on the west side of Congress Avenue, and The Ritz, now a lounge and pool hall on 6th Street. Designed in the Art Deco style popular when it was built, the State lobby retains much of the charm of its past." 719 Congress Ave., Austin TX.

SIDE VIEW; In 1926, the Jayhawk Theatre opened as a movie and vaudeville palace. But after fifty years of showing films, the Jayhawk Theatre closed in 1976 and appeared to be gone for good. The Hotel Jayhawk, part of the entire complex, also closed shortly after the theater and was converted into the Jayhawk Tower office complex in 1982. The Jayhawk Theatre was closed off from the office building and sat dormant for over a decade. In 1992, amid movements to demolish the theater and the entire building, preservationists sought a solution to block the planned destruction. After forming a strong coalition in the private sector to save the Jayhawk, the Kansas State Legislature designated the Jayhawk as the official State Theatre of Kansas in 1993. Since that time, the theater has been undergoing renovations in preparations for its rebirth as a performing arts venue for Topeka. The Jayhawk Theatre was added to the National Register cinematreasures.org/theater/75/ Jayhawk Hotel, Theater and Walk NRHP #82002675) Also known as Jayhawk Theater and Jayhawk Walk;The Jayhawk Complex
