The Palace

I wanted to post a few pictures of The Palace Theater. These do not do it justice, but you can see the gilt work, scroll work and fancy paintings. It is a wonderful place to see a show and just to admire the craftsmanship of years ago.

Albany has some wonderful old buildings and thankfully, there is a lot of interest in making sure they are preserved.

There are many of these paintings on the ceiling
This is taken from the back balcony are looking out
toward the front hall entrance

That's very pretty. the theater we go to for plays off and on through the school year is in the same basic style and colors but not near as intricate and pretty.
