Georgian; Federal; Commercial Vernacular. (c.1816; 1837; c.1900-1909)
    The Lamar House/Bijou Theatre was built as a private residence, the Lamar House, sometime before 1816, and was designed as a late Georgian/early Federal style building. In 1837, a major regarding of gay Street converted the present street level entrance from a basement entrance to the building. A photograph from that era shows six over six sash windows, a standing seam metal roof, and a portico and balcony, with a pediment at the attic story and a standing seam metal gable roof. Changes made c. 1900-1909 resulted in the current flat roof and overhanging cornice with modillions, the alternating arched and triangular window hoods and the details of the Gay Street entrance, as well as internal changes to the floor plan.
