Those not lucky enough to visit Louisville can get some sense of the experience of being in one of Eberson’s most beautiful theatres by seeing the DVD “Alison Krauss & Union Station Live (2003)” which was filmed in High Definition at the Louisville Palace. See the Amazon website description of the video at:

This place to my heart as I spent my teens growing up in Louisville and I had the pleasure of restoring its cousin, the Akron Civic Theatre by Eberson in Akron, Ohio as a member of Wilson Butler Lodge Architects.

The beautiful photographs seen on the Wilson Butler website noted above were taken by the fine architectural photographer Robert Benson. Please see the Robert Benson Photography website for a couple of additional shots of the theatre:

I had the great pleasure of spending many hours in this treasure in the process of documenting the existing theatre and helping to design its restoration at Wilson Butler Lodge Architects in Boston, MA. The firm, now Wilson Butler, is one of a handful of top-notch entertainment architecture firms in the US. See http://www.wilsonbutler.com/ for some beautiful photos of the restoration & the new additions â€"see “Arts/Entertainment” & then “Civic Theatre, Akron, Ohio.” I am very proud to have been a member of the team that contributed to restoring this palace so that it will continue to be a vital arts center for Ohio in the 21st century.
