Globe Theatre (Boston, 1871)

The Globe Theatre (est.1871) was a playhouse in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century.

[4] After a fire in May 1873, the Globe re-opened on the same site in December 1874.

[5] Architect Benjamin F. Dwight designed the new building.

[6] From 1877 to 1893 John Stetson served as proprietor;[7][8] some regarded him as "a theatrical producer with a reputation for illiteracy in his day such as Samuel Goldwyn has achieved" in the 1960s.

[10] Horatio J. Homer, Boston's first African-American police officer, worked as a janitor at the Globe Theatre before being hired by the Boston Police Department.
