History
Cremorne House was constructed during the 1890s goldrush as a theatre and hotel complex of some renown. The theatre closed down as the population of Coolgardie declined following the discovery of gold in Kalgoorlie, and the hotel closed shortly afterwards. The theatre burnt down after its closure.
