Architectural Condition
Roofing The lower portions of the asphalt roofing extend to the concrete foundations and appear to have been damaged. The lower portions show signs of blistering and separation from the surface below and are in fair to poor condition. The upper portions of the rolled asphalt roofing appear to be in better condition with minor signs of blistering. On the east end of the roof, one area of the asphalt roofing has been patched with a different material. Walls and Finishes Finish Panels: In general the exterior plywood finish panels are in fair condition. The panels have minor weathering and mostly aesthetic damage due to graffiti. At the topmost proscenium arch, the rear-facing plywood appears to have more significant weathering. The exterior rear wall of the Bandshell has plywood panels covered with ivy. Damage to the wood is likely beneath the vines.
Plaster: The plaster is in fair condition. The vertical surfaces contain a variety of cracks across the surface. The angled surfaces along the tops of the plaster coated walls show significant weather damage.
Flooring The stage flooring appears to be finished with a layer of plywood panels finished in an epoxy paint and is in fair condition. Stairs Concrete stairs at both locations appear to be in good condition. The yellow safety nosing paint is in poor condition. The painted steel handrails are in good condition with portions of the painted finish worn off, however, they do not appear to be compliant with current accessibility requirements. There is currently no accessible means to the stage. Both an accessible path and associated features will need to be further studied and considered for future use. Electrical The power and lighting bollards do not show any major cracking or damage. The metal cover plates are either missing or in poor condition with rusted and broken hinges. The receptacles do not appear to be functional and include two 2-pronged outlets with no ground wire. The lighting has been removed and the power boxes exposed. Other The top of the proscenium arch and the top of the rear wall have galvanized caps covering the top surfaces.
