But so many were burned at that time that there are (I believe) only 9 left in the U.S.<BR/><BR/>I believe a few of them only survived by becoming movie houses in the 1940's and 1950's...in very small towns, of course. That is the way the Earlville Opera House in upstate New York survived. Luckily, very little money was spent "renovating" it, so most of all the original wood workings, turnings, details, etc. are still intact.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this - and pointing me towards it!Tristan Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372571059339403974noreply@blogger.com
