The theater auditorium was demolished, however, the ticket lobby, the booth, and the stair hall were intact behind plywood until 1980s years after the auditorium fell. The booth was removed to a restaurant in the building abutting Sheas. The transom glass, lobby chandelier, wall sconces left about the same time. All decorative parts were taken out before the condo conversion

Correction: Although the Theater itself was demolished the Ticket Lobby, and the stair hall to the mezzanine along with the ticket booth (shown here) remained intact behind plywood hoarding . In 1981 the ticket booth was removed and later turned up in a restaurant next door to the Buffalo. The lobby chandelier, mirrors, transom glass all went about the same time
