Built in the heart of Indianapolis, Fountain Square Theatre opened its doors in the 1920s as a vaudeville and movie palace, captivating audiences with its grandeur and opulence. Over the decades, the theatre has witnessed numerous changes, adapting to different eras while retaining its unique charm. However, the passage of time left its mark, necessitating a comprehensive restoration to restore its former glory and ensure its continued use for future generations.

The main challenge in restoring Fountain Square Theatre was maintaining its historical integrity while upgrading it to meet modern standards. This delicate balance required a deep understanding of traditional construction techniques combined with the latest in restoration technology.

Our team conducted extensive research to match the original materials as closely as possible, sourcing vintage fixtures and fittings when available and replicating them when not. The intricate plasterwork and the stunning murals, which had faded over time, were restored by our skilled artisans, who specialized in historical preservation.
