The historical marker outside reads:
"Designed by Otto Strack and built by Milwaukee brewing magnate Captain Frederick Pabst, the Pabst Theater was constructed on the site of an earlier opera house destroyed by fire in 1895. The Pabst was completed in just six months and opened November 9, 1895. One of the first all-electric theaters, the Pabst also included such innovations as air conditioning and fire proof construction. The Pabst was home to one of the finest German theater companies in the United States and epitomized German culture in Wisconsin while also featuring this nation's greatest artists on its stage."
