My wife and I and our 2 dogs, and 1 snake lived in the Calo Theatre from 1991-02. We had the other side of the theatre, the side where the screen used to be. The main room had a 50 ft cieling. There were beautiful sconces about half way up the room at about25 ft. The sconces were of neo-grecian style women in robes. I loved it there. Also behind some of the wall were hand painted scenes of tropical locations with palm trees and such. We used to have great after hours parties there. I ran a mobile night club around Chicago in the 80’s and 90’s called The Phantom Club. The Calo Theatre was one of the last locations. It was a great location because you had to go to the alley behind the Griffin to get in. What a wonderful building.
