Kenosha Theater, Wisconsin USA - Dec 17

[UrbanBeginner1]

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I though I would share something really cool, this is the Kenosha Theater. I have a thing for old movie palaces and I could not pass this up especially since I live pretty close to it. It technically isn't abandoned since a man owns it, but he dosen't have the money to fix it so it sits in it's abandoed state. I will also add that he does give tours to anyone. That's all I have to say so enjoy the decay.

That's a cool old theatre!

Can you add an approximate location and approximate date to the title please - also is the UK location tag correct? I can fix these for you if preferred, just let me know

The stone pillar with the ornaments is really nice, also the last pic.

I am glad you like it! I don't really know how to do that sorry, but if you woudn't mind could you make the changes for me. The location is Kenosha, Wisconson (I live in the states)  and these were taken on December 2nd.

I've added the details to the title and changed the tag to US for you. It just makes it easier to search for on the forum . Looking forward to seeing other places from over there if you have any

Hi, all! I know this thread has been dead for a few years, but I stumbled upon it and I wanted to chime in.

I live in this building (not in the theatre itself, but in the building); it is the place I’ve felt most at home throughout my life.

I though some of you make like to know that the restoration project have been on the upswing the past few years.

Between increased volunteer efforts, significantly increased donations, and fewer involved parties arbitrarily giving the thumbs down to certain restoration efforts, significant progress has been made.

I personally have spent the past few weeks polishing brass door handles and kick plates, stripping paint from glass, and sanding filler down on doors and door frames which have now been repainted, rehandled, and will soon be re-kick-plated.

The first two rooms are nearly fully restored and look marvelous.

If there’s any interest on this thread, I’ll post some pictures in a few days. Just posting to see if anyone’s still listening.
