Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Grand Theater Renovation (access required)

After long being a tenant elsewhere, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra in 2015 purchased the building that is now its new home. Originally completed in 1931 as a vaudevillian theater, the building had sat idle on Wisconsin Avenue and 2nd Street for almost 20 years. Many of its features were showing their age. But, amazinlgy enough, its interior frescos, nickel-plated hardware, light fixtures and art-deco styling remained largely intact. Most importantly, its performance space was found, through extensive acoustical testing, to be ideal for concert performance.
