Patsy: I don’t think it would be too hard to remove the paint an luckily all the panes are there. I have the BP and the idea and the city now has control over the building (owners wanted $350,000 back when they owned it) Its a mater of getting the funding. Thanks for your interest.
Currently the theatre is still waiting to be restored. The last time I was in side (5 years ago) it was mostly still intact. there is some water damage to the walls but most of the ornamental plaster i s still intact. The projection equipment had been sold after they closed down. the balcony has been cloed in as a separate screen and all seats and screens remain. The ceiling I am told was once a backlit stained glass. It has been painted over but appears to be intact. It is my dream to restore this treasure to its former glory but coming up with the money to do so is a problem.
Interesting Mike. Was the organ parts that you bought protected from the flood (not sure where they were located in the theatre.
A new roof is being put on.
