Madison Landmarks Nominated by the Trust
Majestic Theatre
115 King Street
The Majestic Theatre was built in 1906 as a two-story vaudeville theater. It was built for and managed by the Biederstaedt brothers. It was the Madison home of the touring company know as the Majestic Players, which included Melvyn Douglas, Ralph Bellamy, and Edmund O’Brien, among other noted actors.
In 1911, a third floor was added, and the Majestic became Madison’s first large movie theater. The Majestic Theatre was designed by Madison architects Claude and Stark in the Neoclassical Revival style.
The Majestic Theatre is a Madison Landmark and was nominated by the Madison Trust in 1995.
