Princess Theatre Restoration Work Progressing!

  The South Pittsburg Historic Preservation Society, Inc. is proud of the progress made inside the Princess Theatre by Leatherwood, Inc. The interior is fast taking shape and drywall is now up in most areas of the theater requiring it, giving one a sense of how the finished product will soon look. The air & heating units will be installed within the next couple of weeks and supports have already been installed on the roof. Shaw Industry of South Pittsburg has recently donated several square feet of wood-finish laminate flooring for installation on the stage that will be installed at a future date.

We at the the Society are proud of the splendid work done by Leatherwood and most appreciative to all those making donations over the last decade that has progressed the theater to the point where completion is within reach. 

Posted on this page are several photos taken on February 6 & 7, 2009 showing the progress of the work.

We are still in need of donations for the unexpected expenses for finishing the first phase of work.
