I grew up in Wythe County. When I was a kid, the balcony was still intact, and the Millwald was the only theater in town. It was sad to see the building when we moved in. I can honestly say that much of the building had caved in. Everything was really bad. We’re slowly renovating. This building was once beautiful and state of the art. Maybe we can bring back some of that glory. After all, aren’t churches supposed to be about restoration?
I actually Pastor the church in question here. I’m not quite sure why people assume we would tear down the marquee. We moved into a badly maintained building in need of much repair. We have limited our renovations to the inside, to adapt the facility for our purposes. Yes … it’s a church now. The exterior has been maintained as it was except for paint. It would be a shame for that to go away. Come by for a tour sometime.
