Historic Wayne Theatre

Aftermath of the 1985 fire

 

This is after the fire of the music store in 1985. Note that with the false front that was on the building at that time, you cannot tell that the old lobby area is still there.  

This photo shows the original theatre lobby that was behind the false front. You can see that most of the fire area in the wood structure of the building has been demolished by this time.

 

At this point the demolition crew are finding out how hard it is to bring down the original lobby. The front lobby was built like the theatre and had one foot thick walls made of concrete, brick and steel.
