English: The Walnut Street Theatre at 825 Walnut Street on the corner of S. 9th Street in the Washington Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, claims to be the oldest continuously operating theatre in the English-speaking world and the oldest in the United States. The theatre was built in 1809 for the Circus of Pepin and Breschard under the name the New Circus, and was designed by William Strickland in the Classical Revival style. In 1811 a stage was added and it was renamed the Olympic Theatre; it was renamed the Walnut Street Theatre in 1820. The theatre was renovated in 1828 by John Haviland, in 1903 by Willis Hale and in 1920 by William Harold Lee.
