This is a 2009 night photo.
LM no sense asking for the source of any photos that he posts, you won’t get an answer. They are from his photobucket and he surely wasn’t the photographer. Very sad that you can’t just link to the photo from its source to give the proper credit where the credit is due.

The name of the architect that I found for this theater is Augustus E. Constantine.
Theater auditorium has been gutted for banquet hall ….june 2008
I’m doing okay. Thanks for asking. I hope that all is well by you and that business is good at your theater.
LOST HOW YOU BEEN???
They are going to use the space for weddings and will be part of the hotel when the hotel gets built…..
As i tryed to lease this space from them i can tell its fact and just about everyone in Charleston knows there plans.
Don’t feel bad, I’m always lost. Didn’t the article that you linked to predict that this building would be used for weddings?
“But last week, we also learned the American Theater will be renovated to specialize in wedding-related events.”
This will be part of the hotel we completed……
LOST YOU LOST ME…
You did “Kreskin”. :)
WHO WROTE PREDICTIONS???
Another photo can be seen here.
