Proposed Folly Music Hall, Peter Street, Manchester

The present building will be pulled down and replaced with an entirely new and modern structure capable of comfortably accommodating 2,000 people. The new building will be erected from the designs and under the personal superintendence of Mr Frank Matcham, the eminent theatre architect. The new building will be lighted throughout by the electric light, will have a handsome verandah and frontage to Peter Street and will be one of the most comfortable and magnificent Theatre of Varieties in Europe. In addition to the most improved methods of ventilation, the theatre will be fitted with a sliding or removable roof thereby ensuring that in the hottest summer weather the theatre can be kept cool and comfortable.

It would appear that this proposed rebuilding of the theatre was not progressed although a refurbishment was carried out in 1896
