Mixed Use
The façade will be restored to include two storefronts and artistic representation of the original marquee.
The ticket booth
will be removed and a door to the residence will go in it’s place, which will
lead down the movie gallery hall through the original theater doors to the
foyer theater
(a mini version of the original theater).
The gallery hall will divide the existing lobby into two retail spaces. Which would be perfect for a gelato shop or a realtor's office.

Mezzanine Terrace
Theater mezzanine with the projection booth behind.
Outdoor mezzanine terrace with downtown view balcony above.
The former projection room and mezzanine will become
an open terrace with a water feature, spa, barbeque and covered dinning area.
This outdoor terrace retains the surrounding walls to give privacy from the
street. The existing mezzanine window glass will be replaced with
Spanish Colonial grillwork. A spiral staircase to one side will lead to a
rooftop balcony offering views of
downtown.

What an Opportunity!
In the spring of 2011 a client called to inform me
that he found a building he wanted to turn into his home.
Imagine my surprise when I found the building was a 1926
silent movie theater!
Through the theater doors was the stage arch surround with a plaster crest at the top. Over the years the theater had served as a
concert hall, and a church, but now sits empty. From the hardwood floors to the
intricately painted moldings, all the details that made going to the theater a special treat were gone. To restore the theater to it's original glory would have been cost prohibitive.
The decision was made to re-purpose and convert this once silent theater.
