17 Bridge Street Muswellbrook NSW 2333

Once the hub of local social activity this grand old building has history dating back to 1888. Formerly a picture theatre the building is now occupied by a real estate office and retail beauty shop. The main entrance was utilised as a gift shop for a period and is currently vacant. The upper level was also utilised for a number of businesses over the years including Surveyors, dental clinics and a variety of general office uses. The site is currently heavily under utilised and could produce exceptional income once additional renovations / upgrades are completed.

The original cinema was built by Walter Barrett, with the screen at the Bridge street end. It was operated as The Strand by Mr. McKenzie until, 1924, when Mr. Charles Wall purchased the freehold. In 1938 he modernized the front by adding a central entrance and two shops and renamed it The Piazza. It ceased functioning as a theatre in 1984. The first floor provided space as the original RSL Club, the Muswellbrook Coal Co. office and dental surgeries. (Information from the Muswellbrook Heritage Walk)
