Grand Theatre facade restoration

Post by Candleshoe »

They turned on the new sign tonight. The restoration to the original 1937 look is complete! Including a state of the art sign along with glass tiles.

Wow, impressive renovation! I love the tile and how it brings interest and definition to the formerly blank wall.
