Seats from the Paradise Theater remain in Chicago. The Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago’s Rogers Park Neighborhood http://www.leatherarchives.org possesses about 200 of the original seats from the Paradise along with the lion head isle lights. Although not obtained directly from the Paradise, the seats must have been in another venue or in storage until the 1970’s when the Space Between Corp. turned the former synagogue at 6418 N. Greenview Ave., into the Greenview Arts Center. The Leather Archives & Museum purchased the building in 1999 and turned it into Chicago’s only BDSM Sex Museum. The seats reside in the Etienne Auditorium named for the artist and ballet dancer Dom Orejudos (Etienne). View link
