Author:
Antoni Sureda (Theater), John Guasp (pediment)
Period and style:
1858 (theatre) 1895 (pediment)
Formal analysis (description):
Classical facade (following the classical Tuscan, Ionic and Corinthian orders in the columns). Functionally it has nothing to do with the interior, an inconsistency repeated on the entrance. The main entrance is on one side, not at the central body under the pediments.
The interior has a great charm. It follows the kind of design in form of a horseshoe typical of the European theaters at the time (such as “La Fenice” in Venice or the “Liceu” in Barcelona.)
Commentary:
It seems that iron was used in the structure but it was covered, disguised (feature typical of the 19th century)

  1. If you don't like a view of the outside, there are other options. For example, if you live on a lake front, you may want to consider window sash style, so that you can still see out onto the yard, but you won't be able to see in.
