My photos of Lyric theatre:


2009

The auditorium also in 2009. Above the holes in the drop ceiling where the sun was shining through was the original height of the auditorium complete with balcony, walls still adorned with wallpaper from it's 1913 opening.

Original backstage area. Stairway downstairs to basement dressing rooms and boiler room. You can also see a rigging platform to the upper right. This area was about 6-7 stories tall with very steep wooden staircases and scaffolding ascending to a single roof hatch.

Demolition the following year

Also the Tivoli from about 2008. Still looks about the same and water damage aside, the auditorium is in excellent condition.
