Located just opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, it was built by Kunvarji Paghtivala.[1] It is a Heritage grade II Victorian structure constructed in 1879. Originally a theatre for performing arts known as Tivoli it got its present name in 1928 when it was converted to a Movie theatre.[2] Prior to its renaming to Capitol, it was known as Gaiety Theatre.[3]
