The Globe Theatre construction began in the winter of 1598 when carpenter Peter Street moved timber beams across the Thames. The total operation cost £700 to build the new structure on marshy gardens south of Maiden Lane.
A theatrical cannon misfired during a performance of Henry VIII and ignited wooden beams that consumed the entire structure. No one died except for a man whose burning breeches were extinguished with a bottle of ale before reconstruction finished by June 1614.
Archaeologists from the Department of Greater London uncovered foundation remains beneath a car park at Anchor Terrace on Park Street in 1989. Most of the foundation lies under existing buildings numbered 67 to 70 Anchor Terrace while an outline replicates the ancient footprint above ground.
Scholars estimate the building stood approximately 30 meters in diameter and held up to 3,000 spectators. It featured three storeys of open-air seating surrounding a central yard where groundlings paid one penny to stand on rush-strewn earthen floors.
Historical theories link the name Globe to the Latin phrase totus mundus agit histrionem meaning all the world plays the player. This motto supposedly appeared on the theatre's flag alongside an image of Hercules carrying a globe according to early biographer William Oldys.
The Long Parliament issued an ordinance on the 2nd of September 1642 closing all London theatres due to the outbreak of civil war. Authorities pulled down the structure between 1644 and 1645 to make room for tenement housing.
