The lobby areas after a bit of selective demo (and tagging):
The main lobby after a bit of demo. At the left there used to be a wall and doors separating the lobby from the auditorium -- here we can see directly into the seating area. The photo appeared with a September 2016 post on the Ghost Princess blog: "I went to the most amazing abandoned theatre today."
