London, England: Pavilion Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue
Viewed from Piccadilly Circus, in it's day the city's fanciest music hall, covering an entire block. In 1885 the owners obtained a cheap site lease by bribery, and rushed it up in four months and three days, working round the clock under electric lights. Harry Lauder appeared here, and Noel Coward's On with the Dance premiered here in 1925. The Pavilion became a movie theater in 1934, closed in 1986, and since then has reopened in new guises more than once. It is currently the home of 'Ripley's Believe it or Not' Museum.
