I agree eldokid, just the mirror frame alone is gorgeous.
Lovely shot of the stairs. I was wondering the same thing - are the stairs of marble?
A breath-taking photo. Congratulations. Wonderful.
Lovely artwork again, and great photo of the detail on the horseshoe mezzanine.
Love the metalwork of the stair railings.
Wonderful framing of the shot. Unique small tiles in the floor?
Gorgeous. I agree with eldokid - what a shame to leave that beautiful artwork in place for probably certain destruction. It should be removed and placed elsewhere.
Beautiful. You were saying this theater was used as a "party place" after it was closed up, and I imagine the sound inside would have been wonderful.
The seats look kindof uncomfortable, but your eye, Mr. Motts, has once again caught a lovely detail - that of the cast iron work on the side of the seats. Lovely.
Fabulous photo - if it weren't for the parts that are broken or ruined, you'd think it was still open. Wonderful ceiling and view of the horseshoe mezzanine.
Wonderful, just in time for New Years - a new gallery. Thanks so much. The ceiling is lovely as is the leaded window to the right in the photo.
I hope whoever got that gave it a good home and didn't trash it, because you know if you trash anything religious you're going straight to hell.

Oh, how the mighty chandeliers have been
over taken by the never ending force of gravity.
