Old Victoria Theatre, on the corner of Gilles Arcade and Playhouse Lane, Adelaide. It was built in 1842 and opened under the name 'The Queens' Theatre'. In 1843, the building became South Australia's first Law Courts, then it was refurbished and became the Royal Victoria Theatre and operated under this name from 1850-1868. After many years of non-theatrical use it was converted back into a theatre again in 1996 and is now known as the Queens Theatre. It is now thought to be the oldest surviving theatre in mainland Australia.</div>
