Colour photograph showing the façade of the Astoria Theatre within a streetscape. The photograph is taken from opposite the main entrance. The façade has a plain cream frontage with strongly contrasting black mouldings. The entrance is set within the corner bay, which also carries the main theatre name-sign and a signage board advertising music acts, and which rises to a short tower with a black dome; the main frontage right of the corner bay has rectangular windows, balustraded, pedimented or plain, and shops occupy the retail units at ground level; a row of fretwork above the second storey and an enriched cornice lend extra definition to the façade.
