Interesting, thanks for posting. Did anyone go inside during 2006 when it was open? Seems like if "extensive renovations" were done in 2005-2006, that, in four years, it wouldn't have fallen apart...
Cathryn. >From the article: During the two decades under then-owners Walter Burns and Maurice Roberson, the theater opened intermittently starting in 1986. Developers Dennis Dubrow and Patrick Fasano bought the theater in December 2005 and reopened it for the summer after extensive renovations in July 2006. The following summer Fasano and Dubrow sold it to the cityâs master redeveloper. The theater never opened again. Years of decay took its toll on the art deco building that stood neglected and underutilized while the city limped along in a stalled oceanfront redevelopment. "I liked the Baronet because it was the oldest theater in town," Crawford said. "It was just a nice comfortable theater." The Baronet, Stine said, is one of many historically significant buildings the city continues to lose to redevelopment and neglect. "This has been an ongoing problem in the city for decades actually â" demolition through neglect," Stine said. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, marioa...@... wrote: > > _Asbury Park historical society pushes to salvage Baronet Theater > artifacts | NJ.com_ > (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/asbury_park_historical_society.html) > > > > _http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/asbury_park_historical_society.htm > l_ > (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/asbury_park_historical_society.html) > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
