The Old Vic is a 1,000-seat producing theatre on the south bank of the Thames in Waterloo, London. Founded in 1818 and rebuilt in the 19th century, the building combines a three-storey stuccoed front with a long brick side wall and has housed a continuous programme of drama and opera.

As it stood in 1881
What The Old Vic looked like in its prime.
A compact urban theatre block with a white, three-storey stuccoed front capped by a triangular pediment and crest, tall vertically proportioned windows on the upper levels and a ground-floor colonnaded entrance with an illuminated marquee. The long side elevation is exposed brown brick divided into a sequence of tall blind arches each containing a round oculus recessed in a red-brick arch surround. The overall roofline is flat and the volume reads as a long rectangular hall behind the decorative frontage.
