   The whole Egypt craze phase of Europe was absolutely wild. I think at one point they were even eating the mummies

   The last decade or so it was used as a theatre for magicians.

   Man that’s a bit of a shame. I’m really into Egyptian Revival. So it goes though.

   The Egyptian House, Penzance still stands and though a little later gives you a feel for what it would have been like.

   Unfortunately a lot of these buildings that were “outside the box” in their design were poorly constructed. When they say “demolished in 1xxx” it usually implies they were falling apart or a least very expensive to maintain.
