Originally a two-story dark brick building with classical detailing, this theatre opened in 1914 as the Hippodrome, managed by a group of Waco businessmen headed by T.P. Finnegan, it was used for silent movies, traveling vaudeville shows, and a variety of civic events. After a minor fire in 1928, the structure was enlarged and remodeled in the present Mediterranean Revival style. It reopened the following year as the Waco Theatre.
