On a trip north to visit some friends, I was introduced to this grand old theater built in 1929. Run down and so far beyond a state of disrepair the establishment needs a full restoration at the hands of professionals. Given all of this and that there are treasures like this chandelier sprinkled throughout, it’s obvious how I responded -- I was ecstatic. The intermingling of distressed architecture and preserved magnificence was intoxicating. Original wallpaper still intact yet peeling in places, two-story marble columns, and an intricate hand-carved ceiling and trim. Boasting historic character, an atmosphere of elegance, and an air of timelessness, this is just a glimpse of what is in store for those who stroll through the front door.
