Date unknown, but likely around 2006-2007. Shot with my Busch Pressman on Efke 25 sheet film. DSLR scanned in two halves and merged in Lightroom.
Situé au sommet d'une colline Portugaise, ce théâtre fermé depuis le début des années 30, subit les ravages du temps.
Au fil des années, il a été la cible de vols et de dégradations climatiques, le toit en a fait les frais, laissant ainsi le bâtiment éventré à l'état très proche de la ruine.
Like most other buildings at Petra, Jordan, the 4,000-seat theater was carved directly into the rock bu the Nabataeans. The stage was later rebuilt by the Romans when they occupied Petra.

I just happen to see a photo of the marquee just before we left on a trip to Michigan which would take us right by the theater so, I insisted on making a stop there. I think it has one of the most amazing and colorful marquees I have ever seen. I'd love to shoot it all lit up some night.
Originally built as the Brown Theater and opening in 1904 as a vaudeville theater, it was renamed the Wapa theater in 1939 and had the current marquee installed. From what I could find, it showed Movies until 2007, closed briefly and has now reopened. Hopefully, it will make enough profit to keep the wrecking ball away.
Ancient Pergamon....was a small settlement during the Archaic Period. Lysimachos, one of the generals of Alexander the Great and who had become the sovereign of Anatolia after 301 BC, delivered the war expenditures, at the amount of 9000 talents (1 talent is believed to be US$7,500 approx.), to Philetarios who was the commander of Pergamon, and the kingdom founded by Philetarios by using this sum of money following Lysimachos's death, flourished and became the most eminent center of culture of the Hellenistic period for 150 years. Eumenes I, Attalos I and Eumenes II were enthroned successively after Philetarios. Eumenes II took acropolis of Athens as an example and had the acropolis of Pergamon adorned with works of art which reflected fine taste, and Pergamon became one of the most graceful cities of the world. Attalos III who succeeded Attalos II, handed over his land to the Romans when he died in 133 BC. In the Acropolis, the remains that you see on the left hand side while going in, are the monumental tombs or heroons built for the kings of Pergamon during the Hellenistic period. Shops are situated at their side. When you enter the Acropolis, the remains seen at your left side, are the foundations of Propylon (monumental gates) which were constructed by Eumenes II. When you pass to the square surrounded with three stoas of the Doric order you will notice the ruins of the temple of Athena, built during the time of Eumenes II in the 3rd century BC. It's just above the theater. The famous Library of Pergamon which contained 200,000 books, was situated north of the square. Antonius gave all the books of the library to Cleopatra as a wedding gift. The remains near the library, are some houses from the Hellenistic period. If you go up the stairs, you will see the remains of the palaces of Eumenes II and Attalos II. Inside the Acropolis there are houses, military barracks and military warehouses called "Arsenals". The building that has been restored at present, is the Temple of Trajan. Trajan started it but after his death Emperor Hadrian (117-138) finished the temple in Corinthian order and it was placed upon a terrace with dimensions of 68 m × 58 m (223.10 ft × 190.29 ft). Attempts have been continuing by the German archaeologists since 1976 to erect this temple which has 6 x 9 columns and a peripteros plan (one row of columns around the temple). It is completely marble.

Village Family Theater still on the market
By JOSH MCGOVERN josh.mcgovern@apgsomn.com
Oct 3, 2022 Updated Nov 9, 2023
Village Theater owner Steven McDonough is left with open options after an undisclosed Northfield buyer backed out of a potential deal to purchase the theater in downtown Faribault.
McDonough hopes to sell the theater due to personal reasons, but is open to suggestions should he decide to retain ownership and reopen.
The single father of eight purchased the theater in 2013 and reopened it as a family-focused venue in 2014 after renovating it himself. Ticket purchases were capped at $30 per group, allowing large families to attend without emptying their wallets.
“That’s what it was about,” McDonough said. “I wanted to create a place where families could come and enjoy a good, wholesome movie.”
Throughout McDonough’s almost 10 years of ownership, the Village Family Theater was host to more than just films. Play productions were performed on the stage behind the screen. Weddings and graduation parties were held in the spacious back rooms. Even the well-known band Owl City shot scenes for a music video in the theater’s brick halls.
The building itself is bigger than it appears from the outside. While its main feature is the theater, there are open rooms available for large gatherings. In the basement, the floor was originally cut at the cross beams to give the theater its slant.
When describing the theater and its many possibilities, McDonough summed it up in one word: “Potential.”
The historic theater on Second Street NW is no stranger to potential. It was opened in 1896 as an armory. After this it was a funeral home. The murdered victims of the famous Faribault family, the Goffriers, held their funeral in what is now the Village Theater.
The building was remodeled at some point into a theater. The theater closed in the 1970s and had a few other uses before McDonough bought it and returned it to a theater.
McDonough spent significant effort reshaping the theater to fit his vision of a comfortable venue. He refurbished the screening room, installed sound-absorbant curtains, and moved the screen closer to the seats to create room for a stage.
In the 2013 grand opening, McDonough brought back the theater’s original door man to attend a showing of “Mom’s Night Out.”
During events, he sold tickets, concessions and operated the projector all in the same night.
A week before Village Theater was set to have its biggest weekend in McDonough’s ownership, COVID lockdowns closed the theater. The repercussions were difficult to overcome, McDonough said, and has kept the theater closed to this day.
McDonough says despite recent obstacles, the Village Theater remains an important building for Faribault. He says it has imprinted itself in history and the lives of the people who attended events throughout the years.
On a darkened stage, a drop of milk hits a plate.
I like how the crown is reflected in the surface of the milk. I could have cropped in, but somehow the darkness made it more dramatic.

Castle Theater and C. U. Williams & Son Building, Bloomington, Illinois.
The four-story C. U. Williams & Son Building to the right of the theater opened around 1912 and was originally constructed as an automobile showroom and garage. Paxtons Office Equipment Co. occupied the building for many years, and the building still bears the company's signs. The building is presently occupied by a law firm. The theater opened in 1916.
Both buildings were designed by architect A. T. Simmons. Both are contributing architectural properties in the Bloomington Central Business District that was listed in 1985 on the National Registry of Historic Places.
