History has been renewed at the Lansdowne Theater
History has been renewed at the Lansdowne Theater. Shuttered for nearly 40 years, the near-century-old space has been restored to its former glory.
The theater original opened in 1927. An electrical fire caused it to close in 1987. After years of sitting empty the space got new life with a restoration project that took nearly 20 years.Lansdowne Theater is on the historic register. A blast from the past that remains one of the few theaters from the Hollywood movie era of the 1920s. The restoration project recreated the original theaters grandeur using images from the theaters former life to imitate the original stage curtain, the decore on the seats and lights that line the walls. Original items include the centerpiece chandelier and the neon clock on the front wall. And you can't miss the marquee that welcomes guests to the new home for entertainment in Delaware County.The former movie house is now a live stage for music, comedy and community events.Comments
