Psst, you should proof read your articles. This is the last paragraph. “The Alabama sits across the street from the Alabama and both are listed on the National Register of Historic places.”
Thanks for catching that. I do proof read but sometimes my eyes start running together. I am only one person writing this page and sometimes the days are long.
Glad to hear they are restoring it. I can’t wait to see the finished renovation. Has the work began and when will it be completed? As a child standing in line at the Alabama Theatre, I would focus on the Lyric sign and wondered what it looked liked like inside and if it was ever going to reopen.
Don’t know from a resource but were told Frank Sinatra , a president or 2 bear Bryant stayed there when in town. It was the only derigible docking building on east coast besides empire state building in new work. And more I’m sure it’s a 100+ yrs old.

A trip to see this jewel must be added to our calendar.
When you go make sure you eat at Bottega, also in a beautiful building. Have an ‘Orange Thing’ and the parmesan soufflé, plus, plus for me!
fantastic

Todd Ponder……Jill Chambers…..
yes? what?
And the real shame is that the Temple Theater was torn down.
When ya gonna do the Thomas. Jefferson tower? Remodeling it now. Cool history of famous people stayed there.
Send some information to [email protected] and we’ll see what we can do.

My dad worked there as a teen before going off to WWII.
I live downtown…would like to see when finished. I love old theaters.
My grandparents went on dates to this theatre to see Vaudeville shows. Grandmother said some famous people came there, before they were famous!
A beautiful space!
Wish some one would save the old Tuscumbian theatre in Tuscumbia.
So glad this is being restored! Thank you!

Nice! Did you ever know of it?
Todd McCraw no, I just mentioned to someone today about all the places I could have gone to but didn’t. Anyway I did see see a lot though!
I was there for the reopening. It’s a beauty and the acoustics are amazing

This photo is not of the theatre under construction. Is anyone restoring it?
This photo looks more like a photo of relatively-recent restoration work.
BC O’Brien Exactly. There is no way this is from 1912. You never get a response from an admin on this group.
Saw a lots of great concerts there years ago.
