Lyric Theatre (former) - Physical Description 1
The former Lyric Theatre is a two storey brick Edwardian building, Edwardian in style. The Sydney Road facade is symmetrical about an arched central entrance. The second storey facade has a series of paired elongated windows (which have fixed opaque upper panels), between piers decorated with sinuous Art Nouveau motifs, and surmounted by a curved parapet. A rendered string course marks the heads of the opening sashes.
The Sydney Road verandah, with its arched central entry, has been removed, and the parapet brickwork painted. The ground floor facade has been altered significantly; there is little original fabric left at this level.
