__NOTOC__
The Bijou Theatre (1882–1943) in Boston, Massachusetts, occupied the second floor of no. 545 Washington Street near today's Theatre District.〔Boston Almanac and Business Directory. 1887, 1891, 1894〕 Architect George Wetherell designed the space, described by a contemporary reviewer as "dainty."〔U.S. Dept. of the Interior. National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: (Boston Theatre Multiple Resource Area ). 1979. Retrieved 2012-03-16〕 Proprietors included Edward Hastings, George Tyler, and B.F. Keith.〔"(A High-Class Motion Picture House )." Photo-Era v.27, no.2, August 1911〕 Around the 1900s, it featured a "staircase of heavy glass under which flowed an illuminated waterfall."〔Boston Opera House. (The Boston Opera House Site ).

The Bijou "closed 31 December 1943 and was razed in 1951."〔 The building's facade still exists.〔Adams House Annex, no.543-547 Washington Street, Boston, USA. "Facade built 1858-1850; interior completely remodeled 1881-82." 〕
==Background==
The building was constructed in 1836 as The Lion Theatre, and in 1839 was renamed The Melodeon. In 1878, the name was changed to The Gaiety. It was also named The Mechanics Institute, Melodeon Varieties, and the New Melodeon. The Gaiety was purchased by George H. Tyler (who also ran The Park Theatre) and by Frederick Vokes, who had renovated the Gaiety, and wanted to rename it the Bijou Theatre. Vokes would relinquish his share, and Tyler would replace him with E.H. and T.N. Hastings. The Bijou officially opened on December 18, 1882.〔http://www.bostonathenaeum.org/library/electronic-resources/boston-athenaeum-theater-collection/history〕
