The annual "Arts in the Heart of Augusta" was held this weekend so instead of doing our usual junk hunting, Mom and I decided to go down to the festival which is held in downtown Augusta. We were accompanied by the Red Headed Girls and their Mom. We had a lot of fun but the highlight of our day was having the opportunity to tour the old "Miller Theater". It was built in 1940 and Mom had a lot of memories of going to this Theater as a child. It was designed by Roy A. Benjamin and it reflects the typical Arte Moderne style. Stars like Eddie Arnold and Katherine Hepburn have performed on it's stage and the World Premier of "The Three Faces of Eve" was held at the Miller Theater. The Theater has been neglected for many years and is in a state of disrepair. They are in the process of restoring this fabulous theater. I can't wait to see it fully restored. Anyway I took a ton of pic's and wanted to share them, there is still a great deal of beauty to be found even in those things that have not been cared for and forgotten for years:
We really enjoyed the Tour!
