History

It was designed by Alexander Saeltzer and opened in 1866 as the Theatre Francais, as a home for French language dramas and opera.[2]

The theatre was renamed the Lyceum in 1871. In 1879, it was taken over by producer J.H. Haverly who renamed it Haverly's 14th Street Theatre. By the mid-1880s, it had become simply the Fourteenth Street Theatre.[3]

By the mid-1910s, it was being used as a movie theatre, until actress Eva Le Gallienne made it the home of her stage company and renamed it to Civic Repertory Theatre in 1926. She mounted 34 successful productions at the theatre,[4] but the Great Depression ended that venture in 1934.[5]

The building was demolished in 1938.[6][7]
