I know what you mean Mathue, my house was built in 1909 and my friends in 1988. His house is a wreck and mine is perfect. Maybe they were just really bad builders in the 80s

I would LOVE that backdrop for my house. Dont want the floor though

Anyone notice that two parts of the ceiling are resting in nice piles on the floor?

They are autotransformer dimmers for the lighting equipment= probaly WardLeondard or old Century Strand. The colors of the handles probaly indicate which colored circuits of a strip of lights over the stage they controlled. I began my theatre career using a similar dimming system- Now I make lots of money repairing and replacing these.

The black and white combined with the depth, is staged but not.

The little fellow on the wall, upper middle wall. Did he have anything to do with the horribly obese people who tumbled out of there chairs and broke them when they laughed so hard at the human comedy that was going on around them at the time, what turmult. Sort of topsy turvy, in a whimsical way. Nice shot, oh great Mott one.

Odds are that this place wasn't in very good condition even before it closed. Heck, one of the local malls here built between 1981-83 has leaks in the roof, one so bad the drywall has peeled off the ceiling around the leak. And this is a high end California mall with a new roof applied late last year! Odds are the roof on this theater was already leaking even before this place closed.

I love the lighting on this...and I can just imagine the texture, all that wonderful peeling paint under my fingertips...ahh... So beautiful. I can't help but be entranced by how tall the ceilings are...gorgeous.
