At which point I have to wonder if this might be the only theater in existence where Shakespeare once might actually have worked in that’s still standing (not burned down).

There are a lot of very old buildings out in the country, any surviving authentic inns may have been used. Around the previous turn of the century a London neighborhood where Shakespeare used to hang out, sleep, drink, etc, that had managed to survive the Great Fire (1666) was photographed just before it was demolished to make way for late-Victorian construction. The Blackfriar's theater (the one where he was a partner) didn't make it either, but a reproduction stands on the site. Ah well.

Whoops. The reproduction was built in the US. My mistake.
