Photos of a 1920's theatre today.
Many have requested photos of the theatre I work at. It was built in the late 1920's, and is currently undergoing massive repair and renovation (it was hit in last June's flood) so I took some time to shoot a few photos. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing those! And as much as I love old theatres, that thing looks like a death trap, can't wait to see the photos after the remodel.

Re: Photos of a 1920's theatre today.
Wow, amazing pictures. Those fans are huge.
It really sucks that you guys were hit by the flood. I had no idea how big your theater was, I live 30 mins away from you and have never been.

Re: Photos of a 1920's theatre today.
WOW!!! What an amazing old space. Do you have a chunk of money to do a real restoration or are you just trying to piece it back together and get it functional? It looks like it could be a really beautiful theater again with the help of 15 million bucks or so.
SO many code violations... it's amazing it didn't burn down or someone didn't get killed working there. I Love the fans and want to know what's in the Vault. If you spend 10 minutes a day dialing combinations...

Re: Photos of a 1920's theatre today.
Those pix of the dome remind me of the Aragon in Chicago. Similar access (climbing ladders laid over the dome ceiling to a catwalk of 2" x 12" that wasn't secured). And no rails, no safety harness points, nothing. And there are riggers up there daily. It's amazing no one gets killed.

Re: Photos of a 1920's theatre today.
I werk in the same style theatre. Built in 1928, restored in 2008. here's link to some photos if anyone is interested in these too.
If you click MTCA 2008 at the top you get constructions photos. IF you click MTCA 2009, you get what we got now. Crazy about your theatre getting flooded. I'd cry if that happened here.
