When a store I worked at in the 70s was "remodeling", they were going to take the huge transom that was over the entrance and toss it in the dumpster. It was all carved and frosted glass with the street number in the center of it. Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't see that tossed so I asked if I could purchase it and the owner gave it to me! Weighed a ton, but I got that thing home!

OMG I hope someone was able to save that mirror. I for one would love to have that.

Gorgeous! Is that where the light hung that fell?

Did you look inside? Was there a date anywhere?

I hate to see musical instruments neglected like this. This one doesn't look too far gone if someone was able to save it. Was the top still around?

I love the natural woodwork whether it's in a commercial building or a home. Hate to see it painted over especially if it's elaborate, carved and highly detailed.

Such nice work only to be destroyed, what a shame

They look pretty hard and uncomfortable if they didn't have any cushions on them.

Yeah that projection booth is pretty odd, I bet you're right in that it was added at a later date. It looks like it's barely hanging on. Too bad it was empty :(

Something told me to stop by here today, and lo and behold, a new gallery! Thank you for a wonderful Christmas Present! Theaters are one of my favorite topics so I can hardly wait to click on. . .

is that for sale?

This one would make for very dull skateboarding.

I'm with Mott's on that. From my very young days of exploring the best option was simply to pay attention to your surroundings and constantly map out escape routes then RUN! if someone tries to get you.

I would guess that the number of hinges had something to do with the weight of the door.
Maybe it was an overkill design thing?
I like 3 more.

Great pics! Would love to purchase one of the original straitjackets, if complete,
