Strand Theatre
Boston, Massachusetts
The 1407-seat Strand Theatre (in its early days as a movie theatre it sat 1800) built in 1918, was originally designed by architects Funk and Wilcox. Wilson Butler's current three phase expansion and restoration of the Strand will bring back its elegance along with a new technical sophistication.
The project's scope of work includes, for Phase One: a new box office, new back of house facilities (including dressing rooms and restrooms) and full restoration of the terra cotta façade, construction summer of 2006. Phase Two: new elevator, new rehearsal and support spaces, construction summer of 2007. Phase Three: full historic restoration of the auditorium, projected start date summer 2008.
