I actually performed at the Bardavon in the late 1970s as part of a children’s theater group. I remember the stage being enormous, and there was a beautiful marquee out front (I believe it was the original). However, from the picture provided, it seems to have been taken down. Hopefully, it will be restored. Poughkeepsie is a great town for old architecture and the Bardavon was a big part of that.
