J.W. Robinson & Associates, Inc. and Lane Greene provided the architectural restoration design to fit modern code requirements while retaining as much of the theater’s original design as possible. Since this was such an unusual project only hand drafting was performed (no CADD). There had been a feasibility study and minor repairs, over the years, as grants permitted. The program demanded creative solutions to a number of problems. Original molded-plywood seats were not recoverable but period upholstered seats were salvaged from another theatre circa 1920’s and were refurbished.
