Athenium Theatre
Junee
Architecture enthusiasts will love strolling along Broadway to view the Athenium Theatre in Junee. Built in 1929, the theatre served as both a cinema and a venue for town balls and touring variety shows. The building fell out of use in the 1960’s but was purchased by a local community organisation in the late 70’s. It is prized for its solid architecture and Greek influence.
