The Tivoli sits in one of the lowest parts of New Orleans. During the flood that followed the hurricane it stood in about 8 feet of water. The building partially lost it roof during the storm. The interior, which was completely renovated in 1970 for the use as a funeral home, was completed destroyed by the flooding and rain. The only remains of the original theatre was some of the second floor balcony areas, which were not used by the public.
The Funeral Home is planning renovations within the shell of the building. The front exterior is to be preserved except the front porch wall, which was built in 1970, to replace the demolished front porch wall.
If anyone has any pictures or drawings of the theatre prior to 1970 please contact me.
