For much of 1599, the Globe Theatre was under construction. The Theatre, which the Lord Chamberlain's Men had originally used as their home base, had become inaccessible due to problems with the Landlord. On Dec 28, 1598, with the Landlord out of London, Peter Street, the builder who the Burbages had hired, demolished the Theatre and took its timbers to a warehouse. In the spring they were ferried across the Thames to the location where the Globe was to be built. A lot of landfill and foundation work had to be done before any of the timbers could be raised, and the new theatre was larger than the Theatre and indeed the largest in London at the time. Scholars are unsure of just when it was complete and ready to perform in: some say July, others closer to September. While it was being built, the Chamberlain's Men kept on performing at the Curtain Theatre north of the river. Once the Globe opened, it must have been awesome, because it was brand new, and the best there was at that time (The Fortune theatre was larger and built the following year by the same builder, Peter Street.)
