I was inside the former Liberty Theater at 726 Blue Hill Avenue in Boston on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, as one of several contractors and City of Boston officials attending a site visit for the purposes of preparing for the demolition of the building.
The facility is slated for demolition in the coming weeks. The actual dismantling, following the abatement of asbestos materials and other hazards, will likely begin in early August.
The interior is fairly gutted and in severe disrepair.
There are areas, including the basement and stage rear areas, that are not accessible due to both collapses and water one to two feet deep.
However, there are still some architectural artifacs visible, which will likely be destroyed, unless some laborer with a historian’s bent rescues them for himself or for the local historic society (as I often do).
I have fifty plus photos. Anyone interested in receiving them, please write back, and I will send them via “SkyDrive” to the e-mail address you provide.
My limited computer skills have prevented me from successfully up-loading them here. Sorry.
