An apartment is for sale inside the historic “Everyone’s Theatre” in Carrington.
It’s known as “Everyone’s Theatre” and is enriched in the history of Newcastle.
Originally opening in 1930, the theatre lasted through the Great Depression, entertaining thousands until 1962 when the curtains closed after a final screening of Swiss Family Robinson.
The heritage-listed site turned into a soap factory, then storage site before being converted into a 10 apartment complex on the main street of Carrington.
The biggest apartment in the complex at 10/92A Young St is up for sale with a price guide of $850,000.
