Take a look at the bird’s eye view and see how unusually the auditorium has been transformed : http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=qf1q7p7g99q1&lvl=19.64919076663369&dir=359.13181967333327&sty=b&where1=Southwest%20Ave%2C%20St%20Louis%2C%20MO%2063110&form=LMLTCC

Passed by Yesterday. Work is going on the building and it has been totally gutted. Only the façade was remaining, I suppose they’ll keep it. I wonder what the building will host after works.

The former auditorium, reportedly as having been in very bad shape, has been recently gutted and work are being done inside for the expansion of the Sports Bar.

On a recent visit, we discovered that the office building seems to be in the process to be converted into an hotel. Unfortunately, the auditorium has just recently been demolished.

Does anyone knows what remains from the original theater inside the building today ?

We had a nice tour of the building by a man from the hardware store two months ago.
The original ceiling is still there behind the added ceiling but is pretty plain.
Here is a picture of one of the door frames that once connected the lobby to the auditorium :

On a recent visit, the friendly manager showed us the auditorium which is now used as storage space for the liquor store.

Thank you for these great pictures Mickeymike ! Glad to see how it looks inside finally !
It looks in better shape than I would have expected, they could definitely save it.
May I ask you to contact me about the way you got inside ?
It would be a nice piece for my photography project. Moreover if it’s in danger.

RegionRat, great pictures ! The style inside the auditorium (ceiling) seems to be pretty unusual.
Like JRS40, can I ask you how you got access to it ? (just check my profile and send me an email via my website)
Thanks a lot !

On a visit to the Belasco theater in June 2008, it seemed to be undergoing a reconversion to a disco.

Mikeymike, can’t wait to see your pictures too.
I went there last year, talked to a woman at the hotel next to the theater but didn’t got any information about its owner and how to get inside. Any help would be really nice !

The building recently reopened as a furniture (+ various stuff) store. Some original deco and curtain still remains inside.
