Shaker Square Cinemas (Cleveland, Ohio USA - 1999)
The Shaker Square Cinema, designed by John Eberson in 1937, is a historic landmark. In 1983, the auditorium and balcony were divided into five cinemas, in a heavy-handed and inappropriate renovation. A fire had destroyed the entry lobby. The property was taken over by Cleveland Cinemas in 1999, and renovated and restored. The space was re-divided into six, all-stadium auditoriums, and the lobby was restored to its original appearance, with the addition of a modern concession stand and ticket booth.
