Dormers Of The Exeter Street Theater

A beautiful old Romanesque building stands at Newbury & Exeter Streets. The building was constructed in 1884 and was originally a temple for the Working Union Of Progressive Spiritualists. The building was converted to a theater in 1914, and remained as such until 1984. In the 1970s, weekly midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show attracted a pretty wild crowd. The building then housed a bookstore, and was closed for a period due to damage by fire.
