Colour photograph showing the façade of The Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham. Historically important as the first purpose-built repertory theatre in Britain, its design was influenced by Munich Kunstlertheater of 1908. It is a neo-Georgian brick and stone façade in three and a half storeys and three bays, the outer bays narrow and rising to square attics, the centre bay window with giant Ionic pilasters supporting a full entablature, parapet and balustrade above. The ashlar-faced ground floor has a cantilever canopy extending the full width bearing the theatre’s name.
