Cleveland Restoration Society members are invited to a SNOOP! of the historic LaSalle Theatre on Saturday, October 9 at 10:00 am. The theater, a City of Cleveland Landmark, was closed in 1991. The property has been purchased by Northeast Shores Development Corporation, which has obtained funding to stabilize the building and make roof and limestone repairs.
The building, designed by architect Nicola Petti, was completed in 1927 as a speculative project by the International Building and Loan Company. It includes three storefronts and five residential apartments. The theater is an example of Neo-Classic architecture, with a temple front with pilasters and pediments. The original marquee remains intact, and the building still has a major presence in the East 185th Street commercial district.
This event is FREE for members of the Cleveland Restoration Society. If you are not a member of CRS you must join first in order to attend the SNOOP. RSVP to JP Kilroy, 216-426-3116.
