Excerpt from Notes on the Burning of Theatres and Public Halls: Reflections on Some of the Causes of the Great Mortality Occasionally Attending Such Fires, and Suggestions for Improved Security to Life; The Antiquity of the Drama and the Opening of Theatres in America

Canterbury Hall, a variety theater on Louisiana avenue, was destroyed by fire July 23, 1869. Wall's Opera House was burned December 6, 1871. That no lives have been lost in the destruction of the theaters in Washington is due more to the fact that the fires occurred when there was no audience in them than to any superior construction or mode of egress.
