Described as an "artistic little theater", the building was commissioned by John Stansel Taylor. Construction began December 1920, with the theatre opening three months later. it was advertised as having the best natural acoustics in the southeastern US.

 

In 2013, the City of Clearwater launched an elaborate $11 million restoration of the theater as part of a broader downtown revitalization. The theater reopened in 2014 to much acclaim and financial success.
