Apartments can be exciting places, especially if one is your first home as an adult. But there comes a time when you have to get out and enjoy some space. You don't have to love the great outdoors to do this if you live in Austin. The Paramount Theatre offers plenty space for you to enjoy.

Located in downtown Austin, this structure is nearly 100 years old and offers a

lush history. The building was erected in 1915 and it has served a number of different purposes from being a war office to a theatre.

Congress Avenue is one of Austin's busiest streets, making it an ideal location for the Paramount. The building was once Sam Houston's office and it housed the War Department of the Republic of Texas. It also spent some time as the Avenue Hotel before being redesigned into a magnificent theatre.

Stepping out of your apartment to visit the Paramount Theatre opens doors to the past. The theatre is a historic landmark that still uses old-fashioned ropes and sandbags on the set. You can witness red carpet premieres, check out a new album release celebration, or sit back and enjoy a number of touring and company shows and musicals.

There are countless activities and events featured at the Paramount Theatre. It is a great alternative to staying in a stuffy apartment. So the next time you are looking for something to do away from the apartment on a Friday night, find what you are looking for at the Paramount Theatre!
