Some buildings become more than just part of the fabric of the town in which they exist.
They fill an emotional need. Like Flinders Street Station - for decades, under the station clocks was the most popular meeting place in the city. The Theatre Royal holds a similar place in the hearts of Castlemaine people. For many residents this building was where they saw their first film, went on their first date, experienced their first live show. It is still the only cinema in town.
