Thought you would like to view the seats in the center. And a small bit of information.

Beautiful seats!

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Paramount is an excellent example of the art deco motion picture palaces built in the late 1920's and early 30's. The restoration retained the Paramount's opulent, richly embellished interior. The original Venetian-styled murals and the art deco ambience were faithfully recreated. The auditorium holds 756. You'll feel as though you are a part of the performance from every seat in the theatre.

Thank you for sharing the info, Jaycee.

Fresno has one theater from the early 1900’s that has been restored. The others are either gone or in disrepair.

So many historic buildings were lost to redevelopment.

I still have 3 songs to post. I may post one before the PTA meeting and then the other two when I get home.

I didn’t realize that I had so many.

Hope you are enjoying WF Musical Wednesday.
