Saving the Coleman
Saving the Coleman. This week's winner is by Miami, Okla., photographer Gary
Crow and depicts the ongoing restoration of the historical Coleman Theatre,
which celebrated its 75th anniversary last April. Several years ago, the
building had become so rundown that it narrowly missed being demolished. In
1995, the city and Friends of the Coleman rallied to preserve the former
vaudeville and movie house. Currently theater furnishings and fixtures from
across the country are being gathered and preserved. In the
photograph, the original chandelier is pictured being reinstalled in 2003.
