The theatre was rebuilt in 1890 and then remodelled again in 1906 and the 1920s. Between the 1940s and 1966, the theatre operated as a cinema as well and by 1967 it was transformed into retail space.

The building changed many hands up until the 1990s when it was abandoned. Now, the historic building is owned by Century Venues who are planning to restore it to its former glory.
