WHAT’S PLAYING AROUND
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
from the Tri-Cities stripped and
recoated the facade and this
spring Brann said the top coat
was applied in what he called
an older style stucco with the
color mixed in the concrete
and hand plastered on to the
exterior.
“We are using more historic

stately hues of sandstone and
blue,” Brann said.
To further bring the facade
back to its original look, Brann
said all windows are being re-
stored to their original size. Cur-

said the glass will be installed in
a couple of months.
The adjacent storefront fa-
cades will be restored to match
the historic design and inside,
Brann said, the ceilings in the
new bar area were moved to
their proper height.

molished the concession stand
area, the adjacent store fronts,
the Green Room and an apart-
ment “down to the studs.”
“About 75,000 pounds of
debris was removed to get back
to the building’s framing,” Brann
said.
In the winter of 2022 Brann
said they began structural
framing, bringing it up to 21st
century codes. In the process,
a performance space was cre-
ated behind what is now Perry
