Vancouver's Pantages Theatre

A few years ago I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Pantages Theatre on Hastings Street. Despite its age (1907), the many owners over the years, and the fact it had been empty for close to 15 or more years the auditorium was in great shape.

Recently there has been water damage from a leaking roof and some of the plaster ornamentation has fallen. Two very recent photos show how bad the damage actually is - all caused by the neglect and carelessness of the building's previous owners.

These photos show some of the detail that can be found in the theatre.
