From an article I read recently in the Macon Telegraph they are continuing the restoration of the Austin which was the Peach at one time. They had a fund raising, a one man Mark Twain show at the theater, so I would think they have some sort of seating if not permanent. The exterior looks great.
Local citzens of Harlem,Ga. have done the same thing to the COLUMBIA theatre there.As hard as i have tried,i cannot get any of the locals to get on CT.
According to the records of the New York Terra Cotta Company, the 1916 remodeling of this theater was designed by an architect named P.P. Scroggs. Philander P. Scroggs was an Augusta architect who later formed the partnership of Scroggs & Ewing with Whitley L. Ewing.
I think they’re still working on it.
The official site is down. You can try this one, but it seems to be problematic as well:
