Designed by Bertie Crewe for Thomas Barrasford, the Pavilion Theatre opened at the corner of Renfield Street and Renfrew Street, Glasgow on the 29 February, 1904. It was regarded as luxurious for its time with its decor being described by the owners as \"pure Louis XV\". An electrically operated sliding roof ensured good ventilation.
The Tron has been a familiar landmark in Glasgow\'s Merchant City area for centuries and a popular cultural venue for over twenty years. The theatre is situated at 63 Trongate, just a few yards from Glasgow Cross, and is easily identified by the unmistakable 16th Century church steeple.
\"\"The Ramshorn Theatre is a jewel in the crown of Strathclye University and of the Merchant City. It is a much-loved historic landmark building, a key venue in the network of city centre studio theatres, and a hub of theatrical and musical activity both as a performance space and as the University of Strathclyde Drama Centre.
