Completed as part of the Boston
Commercial Rehabilitation Program, renovations to this movie-house include the
dividing of the house into two cinemas, the addition of a new floor of office
space above the theaters, a new entry to the offices, and a new lobby
designed for the theaters. Facade
improvements completed as a part of the project restored the original cinema
entrance facade and completely refurbished the ground floor with new wood and
glass storefronts designed to be more in keeping with the buildings' original
appearance. The new theater lobby is
designed to accommodate the various functional requirements of ticket sales,
concession stand, poster display, and theater offices within a structured
framework that will provide a sequential path through the street-front
building to the cinemas. The new
office entry at the rear of the property addresses the large scale of the
movie-house loft building by puncturing its end wall with a large
opening. Within this opening, the
exposed stair tower becomes a primary feature, further defining the general
lobby and ground floor rental area entrances.
It is hoped that the rehabilitation of this building, which occupies a
prominent position in the Fields Corner area, will encourage additional
redevelopment in the Community. |
