I was wondering if anyone had photos of the exterior and interior of the Mayfair from the days it was known as the Auditorium that they would be willing to share. Thanks

Currently the project is still in the phase of acquistion of all the parcels involved, which should be completed by the end of January. After the final settlement, we are going to be having a press release issued and a big ground breaking ceremony.

As for the website, our server was hit by a virus around mid December and is in the process of being put back online. We are taking this opportunity to revamp the entire site and include the new site plan for the project, as well as interior shots and more currents shots of the project area.

Feel free to contact me directly Thomas and I would be happy to email the interior view over to you.

There are several interior pictures of the Ambassador Theatre, that I have been able to find, and I would be more than glad to share them with you.

The Ambassador was designed by the same architect that designed the Senator, being that of John Zink. The interior of the Ambassador has been said to be one of the best examples of an Art Deco interior in the Mid Atlantic region. The interior is very different from the Senator, but the seating arrangements are somewhat similar.

Artist renderings of the entertainment complex are slated to be posted to the theatre’s site by mid August. The entire project has a projected start date of October 2004 and a completion date of eighteen to twenty-four months.

The main screen and the adjoining multiplex will all feature state of the art projection and sound equipment.

The Ambassador, opened in September of 1935, and was designed by architect John Zink, the same architect that designed the Senator. It was know as the “Wonder Theatre” and was said to have to the most exuberant art deco interior in town.

Currently the theatre is being used as a church. The area surrounding the theatre, know as Howard Park, is not on the decline, but is a very stable Middle class neighborhood that is on the up swing.

Actually there is an effort to restore the theatre and surrounding commercial district, into an entertainment complex. The complex that is being planned involves the addition of 6 more movie screens on the adjacent lot, a family restaurant, bookstore/cafe, and music store. The theatre will be fully restored and host 1st run movies, and Christian concerts.
