Once known as the Northcote Theatre, The Regal Ballroom was originally envisioned as a cinema. It was taken beyond a vision in 1912 when architect Edward Twentyman Jnr created nothing less than an impeccably composed theatre for all. Complete with a balcony, stalls an adaptable stage and its own generator, it was the first building to be lit by electricity!

In its opening year, it became the venue for The Annual Northcote Mayoral Ball. And was later popularised for Vaudeville, Burlesque comedy, silent cinema and song and dance. In fact, The Regal Ballroom remains the earliest surviving picture theatre in Victoria.
