Editorial Review for Wilbur Theatre – by Citysearch Staff

The Space
A simple two-story brick structure with Georgian and Federal Revival motifs, the Wilbur is scaled more along the lines of a private residence (architect Clarence Blackall modeled it after actor Edwin Booth's Mt. Vernon Street home) than an opulent playhouse.

Built in 1913 on the former site of the Winthrop School for Girls, the Wilbur features a tasteful facade with three French arched windows, a marble parapet and an iron balcony overlooking Tremont Street. Inside, it is obvious that the theater has seen better days and is greatly deserving of the kind of overhaul recently given the Shubert.

Like the Colonial, the Wilbur boasts a fan-shaped house that provides excellent sightlines.
