Beauregard is the name given to the parrot by the employees of the Drexel Grandview shortly after it reopened in 1993. During the renovation before it opened as a Drexel theater, the existing murals were all painted over except the parrot. Not sure when they were originally done.

The theater used to be used for vaudeville, so one would assume there is/was a dressing room area, though I never saw it when I worked there. There is a stage, currently used for storage.
