The Globe was only in use until 1613, when on June 29 a fire broke out at the Globe Theatre during the performance of King Henry VIII . The cannon that was used for special effects, such as heralding great entrances, was loaded with gunpowder and wadding, sent a piece of the smoldering wadding onto the roof. The thatched roof caught on fire and the Globe Theatre burned to the ground. There were apparently no casualties but there must have been some panic. (Pretty impressive for a facility holding 3000 people with only one exit) In 1614 the Globe Theatre was rebuilt.
In 1613, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground when a cannon shot during a performance of Henry VIII ignited the thatched roof of the gallery. The company completed a new Globe on the foundations of its predecessor before Shakespeare's death. It continued operating until 1642, when the Puritans closed it down (and all the other theatres, as well as any place, for that matter, where people might be entertained). Puritans razed the building two years later in 1644 to build tenements upon the premises. The Globe would remain a ghost for the next 352 years.
