Thanks as I just viewed them…not an older theatre as I thought might be the case. I was in Greenwich a few years ago and don’t recall seeing this, but then again I would have been looking for an old marquee, etc.
sam_e: I recently drove by this former theatre and it would take a miracle to restore this one! Yet much of the terra cotta facade is still intact and tells us that this theatre, in its heyday, was a beauty.
Nice to read something about this theatre in Wellsville though I was hoping to read some words from the manager, Darren. I don’t even know if he is still the manager of a theatre that has sadly been twinned, imo.
Freeburg and Fidler I believe also designed and built some of the local schools in the area, too. I also have interest in 2 former local architects by the names of Beck and Tinkham. They built many homes in the area in the tudor/stucco style.
OMG, I know Kathy and Charles (Chuck) Ludwig! I am in the Jamestown area and plan to give them a call asap! Do you happen to live in the Jamestown area and how is it that you have become interested in this theatre? Amd I think the seat capacity number has been changed from 1100 to 1230, correct? I also plan to call Century 21 and ask them the asking $.
DakRoland: “An item of note… The theater’s official name is two words, "Winter Garden”, not ‘Wintergarden’.“ As you can see this has now been corrected thanks to CT member, Ken Roe in the UK.
Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job in putting this book together about the Warner Theatre, Erie’s gem. Thank you for doing this for us theatre buffs and let us know when it can be purchased.
Barb: My husband and I met you last summer and it was good to read your recent posts and to knnow that the Warner Theatre book is near completion. Let me know when and where it will be available. BTW, we have the Warner Theatre poster framed and in a prominent place!

Would love to see some photos of this theatre!
LOUB: So very sad to read this. Will there be someone else to take over for John and “his” theatre in Niagara Falls NY?
Lost Memory: Great to read about the many organs that were installed in many theatres during the 20’s and 30’s. Great research!
donnie 1: Thanks for the email as I had forgotten about my post here in 2006.

LOUB: Keep us posted! Thanks!
Lost Memory: The August 19, 2005 photo isn’t there now and I’d love to see it again! Thanks.
I wonder what happend to that organ and was it in the theatre when it was demolished?
I’m sure that is the case…….“…..it was removed years ago…..”
Is the organ still there? When I lived in South FL I went to to the Lyric and saw Tony Orlando, but I don’t recall seeing any organ.
You are very welcome Edith. Have a good day!
Great…will check it out!

I would love to see some interior photos of this theatre.
Lost Memory: The night photo of the lighted marquee in your 11/1/06 photo really shows off the theatre’s beautiful marquee and all of the neat colors.
I caught a glimpse of this theatre marquee while watching a show on HGTV and had to go and check it out here on CT.
DakRoland: I would also like to know the names of the original owners and the architect(s), etc.

DakRoland: Could you please email me @ and let me know the name of Gus Nestle’s daughter as her last name wouldn’t be Nestle.
