Faith in South Philly: The Profane (#1 in an infinite series)


Covered with stucco for decades, the Grand Theatre emerges into the light.



Talkies! Snyder Avenue facade. According to my realtor, no one in the neighborhood knew there was a former movie theater beneath the stucco.




That sign deserves a closer look.



Seventh Street facade.

HUH??

I knew it was there :(

but that's not the point... I wonder if she was being truthful or was trying to make it seem more interesting..

Cool pictures though

Heh. He may have been. One reason I credited the comment to him instead of just putting it out there as gospel. Thanks.

When the face of the building fell down, there was a big article in the SPR that the theater had been long since forgotten.

I remember that article.. but I had the benefit of my great grandmother who used to point that place out to me constantly before she passed...

and I'm a youngin.

Beautiful. I'd be on Cloud Nine if something unexpected like that popped up in my neighborhood (which has been an important crossroads for a couple hundred years now but unfortunately didn't start getting thickly settled until around the time of the Woodrow Wilson administration).
