Work started on building The Corn Exchange in 1852 and was completed two years later. Few stallholders used the new building and, for the next 50 years, it was used for auctions and other events. In 1912, the building was converted into the Olympia Picture Palace, formally opened by the provost on 8 July 1912. It is now a Wetherspoon pub bearing its original name. The building was constructed in 1852 as Arbroath's Corn Exchange, intended to relieve town centre congestion caused by market stalls, but it proved unpopular. By the turn of the century it had become a liability. Despite opposition, placated by a promise to avoid "vulgarity", a cinema was opened here in 1912. In 1915, the Olympia Theatre, as it was called then, hosted a performance by the famous Harry Lauder Pipe Band.
