365_344 / Wheaton Grand Theater

Taken the same day as the previous image (weathered wooden fencing), this is the marquee and ornate facade of the historic Wheaton Grand Theater. This downtown Wheaton landmark that has definitely seen grander and more glorious days.

First opened in 1925… it’s stage showcased vaudeville acts and silent movies. These days… it’s referred to as an ‘architectural treasure’. From what I can see… that pretty much means it’s in a state of sad disrepair and prolonged neglect. And while I hear that restoration efforts are underway (from the inside out)… it’s shabby chic curb appeal has become iconic… just the way it currently stands… as it whispers of it’s colorful past.

Purposefully over-processed… just having fun on a Saturday afternoon! =)
