Marianne Theater Receives a Face Lift
Thanks to a 2004 Governor’s Office for Local Development Renaissance on Main matching grant we all are able to enjoy a rehabilitated Marianne Theater façade. On November 29 the completion of the rehabilitation was celebrated as Mayor Meyer presented the $10,000 reimbursement check to Mr. Eck, owner of the theater. The work completed under the grant consisted of: installation of iron gates added to the side alleyways, doors replicated to match the original doors, and the restoration of the marquee. The work on the historic art deco movie theater came with challenges, but the final results demonstrated it was worth the effort.
The lighting of the marquee for the celebration attracted attention. The response from many of people driving by was to beep their horn. Walkers couldn’t resist stopping by and sharing fond memories of the theater and asking questions about its future.
