The Carver Theatre launched February 9, 1948 with “Intrigue” By Maurice Rosenberg’s Amusements, Inc. It was known for its modern art mural depicting Carver’s life.
Out of curiosity, I went inside the building this past Sunday. All of the interior decor has been removed from the auditorium — just fluorescent lighting and cinder block walls now. The congregation of the church was very gracious and welcoming.
I love the facade! Love the curved brick! Thanks for posting Jack!
Great photostream Jack.
Here is a February 2008 (not very flattering) evening photo of this magnificent structure.
