Miranda Russell’s May 21 performance might have been the last show ever at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre, built for vaudeville and movies in 1912. David Bull is among many hoping that’s not the case.

“As I’ve told anybody who asks, that’s my fondest wish,’’ said Bull, one of the partners in Abracadabra Theatre Associates, which put the 560-seat theater at 13 Wallis St. up for sale in late March.

While noting there are no restrictions on the property, “In my heart of hearts, I hope it will stay the beautiful performing arts venue that it is,’’ Bull said.

Listed at $699,900, the building has generated interest — including one query from London — but the owners had accepted no offers as of last week.

As showcased on a website designed by Gibson-Sotheby’s International Realty, the 5,587-square-foot building has many original features, including antique hand-painted pressed tin ceilings, silk wall coverings, and a horseshoe balcony. It has no air conditioning, but in recent years the owners have purchased a digital projection system and retractable screen and acquired a full liquor license.

The Larcom is one of three theaters in Beverly, along with the 1,500-seat North Shore Music Theatre and the 885-seat Cabot Performing Arts Center. Two were probably saved from redevelopment when the businesses behind Le Grand David and his Own Spectacular Magic Company — with Bull in the title role — reopened the Cabot in 1977 and the Larcom in 1985.

Following the death of founder and director Cesareo Pelaez in 2012, Bull and company ended a 35-year string of magic shows.

The Larcom has featured live music, stand-up comedy, and stage productions in recent years, along with private events.

Among those interested in purchasing the property are Peter and Vickie Van Ness of Gloucester, owners of gimmeLIVE, which has produced most of the music shows at the Larcom since 2013. Performers have included Art Garfunkel, Johnny Winter, Badfinger, and the Marshall Tucker Band.

“We’ve produced shows in a lot of venues, and the Larcom is our favorite one,’’ said Peter Van Ness, who said he has made an offer. “The acoustics are perfect, it’s gorgeous, it’s historic . . . the artists love it, the audience loves it.

“The enthusiasm of people in Beverly to support a theater district is obvious, and we hope to prevail in purchasing the theater and bringing it to life on a full-time basis.’’

Beverly Mayor Michael Cahill said the city is taking an active interest in the purchase and added that the theater is a key player in the continued resurgence of the downtown economy.

“There’s clearly a symbiotic relationship between the restaurants and the theater, and I believe that will extend to retail and art galleries,’’ Cahill said. “Whoever buys the Larcom is making an investment into a potential gem of a theater.’’
