Rivoli Theatre, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
by Andrew Turnbull

Isn’t this just so lovely? And read about the restoration!

From Flickr:

The Rivoli Theatre opened in January 1936, housed in a building that originally sheathed the Cedarburg General Store. From 1956 to 2006, it was owned by the Marcus cinema chain. It has been open continually, and in 2008 the original facade was restored…it looked like this before then.
