Patsy…if you are involved in the restoration, please don’t hesitate to contact the Princess Foundation for lessons learned.

As for Crescent Amusement, I think you are correct, however I’m not sure of the owner name. Here are two more links concerning the memories of Dub Harmon:

Simple answer, no, there is no inner shell…it was completely destroyed in ‘39 and rebuilt that same year.

Here are a couple of links: http://princesstheater.blogspot.com/2009/02/princess-theatre-temple-of-arts.html

The comments made by Richard Saffles are somewhat misleading. Muse Watson is not personally restoring the Princess. It was a project born from a mutual dream held by both Muse and Gary Baker of Harriman. That dream was to reopen the Princess and give her a new purpose – to provide arts education to the children of the Roane and surrounding county areas. The project was funded by a Tennessee grant and money contributed by TVA after a disastrous ash spill. The theater will be operated by Roane State Community College and educational funds will keep the water and lights on!

Muse and Gary are integral parts to the restoration, and continue to drive the dream forward. Visit http://princesstheater.blogspot.com to keep up with the restoration progress.
