My Father went to this theater when he was a kid and so did I! When I drove past it one day on the way to work it was in the process of being demolished. I just had to save what i could so i paid to have the terracotta removed block by block and passed down to me by rope! I shuttled van loads to a nearby garage i rented, then cleaned every block of the mortar and bricks attached still. After two more moves i still have the facade safely stored waiting for a new project they can be used on and once again enjoyed!

my name is Brian. I was passing by the Commodore theater as it was being torn down and paid to save as much of the terracotta pieces as possible. I still have them! About 30,000 pounds of them! I can be reached at I am looking to sell the facade.
