Mr. Filardo
Is your Parkway Theater facade available? A Chicago area museum is seeking an entire theater facade and marquee, hopefully by donation, for incorporation into a historic street scene. As preservationists themselves, it has been difficult to approach developers or salvage companies, as they do not wish to encourage demolition. The intent is to recreate a 1950’s street scene with two-story salvaged facades attached to a new visitors center. Several complete buildings have already been moved to site, with some architectural and engineering work already in progress.
