The Globe Theater remains somewhat of a mystery as no historically accurate descriptions or pictures remain. The theater had open air seating, but some parts including the stage were covered by roof. Many of the supporting timbers were taken from The Theater in Shoreditch. Based on the time period, the roof was likely clay or slate, though due to the building being put up so quickly, it could also have been thatch or wood shingles.
