Peter Dollar

Peter Dollar ARIBA (1847 - 28 October 1943) was an English architect and surveyor noted for his cinema designs.

[2] Dollar married Emily Ada (died 1937) and they had at least two sons, one born 22 October 1899 at 13 Hyde Park Square, Bayswater, London,[3] and a second, Graham, born in 1905[4] and who died during the Second World War.

[5] Dollar designed Monkenhurst house in north London in 1880[6] and The Majestic Picturedrome which opened in Tottenham Court Road in 1912.

According to John Heathfield of the Friern Barnet & District Local History Society, he is credited with introducing the idea of a raked or sloping floor in his early cinemas.

Probate was granted at Llandudno to his son Major Graham Dollar of the British Army[10] who himself died in 1944 and is buried at the Ancona War Cemetery in Italy.
