Inside the 100-year history of one of America's most elaborate movie palaces
Opulent and nostalgic, Tampa Theatre is one of the most magnificent movie palaces of the early twentieth century. On the 100th anniversary of this iconic building, Tampa Theatre: A Century of Stories chronicles its complete history for the first time. This book traces the story of the theater from its opening in 1926 as a home for silent films through decades of historic preservation efforts to the present day, where, grander than ever before, it serves as a nonprofit film and cultural center for the Tampa community.
Tampa Theatre details the theater's signature atmospheric design by nationally renowned architect John Eberson, which continues to inspire awe. Though the theater's audiences waned after the Great Depression and World War II, it found new life in the 1970s when citizens rallied to save and restore its historic auditorium and revive its screen and live performances. Huse includes never-before-published interviews with people who have worked behind the scenes over the years, including candy clerks, organists, box office attendants, and managers. Featuring over 200 illustrations, the book celebrates the civic vitality fostered by the Tampa Theatre and reminds us that the redevelopment of cities begins with the preservation of our most valued community spaces.
