St. Charles Theatre

Image of the St. Charles Theatre

St. Charles Theatre, was a theatre in New Orleans between 1835 and 1967.^[1]

It was founded by James H. Caldwell to replace the Camp Street Theatre and was the only English language theatre in New Orleans. It was considered the finest theatre building in America in 1835. It burnt down in 1842, but was rebuilt in 1843, and was burnt and rebuilt a third time in 1899.

In the late 1870s it was purchased by Gilbert R. Spalding and David Bidwell who intended to restore the theatre to its previous position of a first-class theatre, but were unable to complete this plan owing to Spalding's death in 1880.^[2]
