Fresno has a few. Hardy's Theater, that's been out of business for a very long time.... it was rented out to various clubs, etc., over the years. I think it was just this last year the latest lessee vacated and a reporter for the local newspaper decided to go in to visit, see 'history'.... It was heartbreaking. They had torn out seats, entire sections, put up cheap plywood partitions.. ALL of the original grandeur gone.
Here are two we played in that still maintain their elegance to this day.
This is Warner's Theater in Fresno. I've played music here many times... also was in two stage plays here.
Stil as beautiful today as it was then.
Pipers Opera House in Virginia City, Nv that I mentioned above. That side staircase is where we hauled up the equip... not to be confused with the fire escape staircase mentioned above.
This photo surprised me, pulled from an internet search. By this photo you'd swear the Piper Opera House stage is tiny... it is NOT, it is actually HUGE.
