The Winter Garden Theatre, leased by the Shubert Organization since 1911, is their longest-owned venue. Originally constructed in 1896 as the American Horse Exchange to cater to New York City's bustling horse and carriage trade, it transformed into a theatre. While it briefly operated as a movie theatre under Warner Brothers (1928-1933) and United Artists (1945) after renovations, it gained its prominence primarily as a home for musicals and revues.
