Ceiling and Chandelier in the Plaza Theater

This picture was taken in the Axelson Grand Lobby of the Plaza Theater. It exemplifies the beautiful interior of the Theater, opened in 1930. It was designed in the Spanish colonial revival style, for example intricately painted ceilings and antique furnishings - both can be seen on the picture. The Bernice Dittmar Doner Salon is in the back of the picture. It honors the donors who helped re-opening the Plaza and contributed to the quality of life in the city.
