the interior is about 95 percent original inside. The original plasterwork has been restored. Recently saw a service here and was shocked that even the seats were well taken care of. Status should be open because they do have occasional live performances here.

Wonder what the auditorium looks like now. Are we guessing that it probably looks like the central park with the balcony separated?

Fantastic photo Bryan. That’s the first one I’ve ever seen of it before it was a church.
