Description Hand colored photo from 1942, SeptemberOriginal title: Paramount theater at Times Square. Showing bond selling boothPhotographer: Marjory CollinsLocation: 1501 Broadway, Manhattan, NYThis is the Paramount theater, located in the heart of Times Square in Manhattan, NY. Built in 1926, designed using Art Deco & Beaux Arts style, in its day it was a glorious theater. A large orchestra pit that rose to stage level, red velvet drapes, Balustrades and an open arms Grand Staircase, the ceilings were fresco & gilt, brass railings, plush seats, it was really nice, as you can see with that awning. The lobby was modeled after the Paris Opera House, with white marble columns. The rest of it was designed to be office space, standing at 33 stories, with a sphere on the roof and a large clock (both were blackened out during WW2). The first five floors are limestone, followed by brick. In 1967, they decided to turn all of it into office space and gutted out that theater, removed that arch, and the awning, and it stood that way for a long while, a basic looking boring business building. The building was designated a landmark in 1988, and starting in the late 1990's, the arch, clock, globe and this awning was restored back to how it was, or as close as possible. Today the only original part that remains is the lobby, the auditorium is long gone. The outside of the building is similar to this picture, but it has its own modern touches.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
