Image above is a photo from one page of the original Aztec Theater blueprints from 1925. This is one of the fire exit surrounds in the balcony. The original drawings were not always built as drawn.
In the mid 1970s, the theatre was divided to accomodate three screens. The balcony was walled off at its nose, and then in half. Two screens there, and the original screen made three. At this time, the fire exit surrounds were destroyed, except for about one quarter of the surround at the south wall (house right). I have rebuilt the two surrounds (in my studio), and they were installed in August 2005. Below, the install, as of Nov 01, 2005. |
| Below is the sketch I worked from. |
