The ''Crest'' building on the corner of Blaxcell and Redfern Streets, was built by [[Hoyts]] in 1948 as a movie theatre and was used for screening films up until 1963. The structure of the building is of a [[Quonset hut]] design, while the facade and interior is of a post-[[Art Deco]] and [[Streamline Moderne|post-Moderne]] [[Eclecticism in art|eclectic]] style,<ref name="Heritage">[http://www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/07_subnav_01_2.cfm?itemid=5053520 "Crest Theatre"] listing on the [[NSW State Heritage Register]].</ref> influenced by the "[[Movie palace|Picture Palace]]" architecture popularly used for movie theatres. It is now used as a [[function hall]].

The Crest Theatre is now listed in the [[NSW State Heritage Register]] as being of "State significance", being one of the few [[movie theatre|cinemas]] built in Australia in the 1940s.<ref name="Heritage" /> Externally and internally the building remains largely intact, though the signage on the external decorative pier now reads "B-L-O-U-Z-A",<ref>[http://www.blouzahall.com.au/history.html History of the Crest Theatre]</ref> rather than the original "H-O-Y-T-S" (later it was "B-I-N-G-O").
