Home of Northwest Children’s Theater At Risk
July 7, 2005
The Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center, home of the Children’s Theater, needs $2M to stay the Cultural Center.
Don’t we have enough condominiums and shopping centers in the northwest? Home of 23rd Avenue and the just west of the trendy Pearl district, we should keep such a historic landmark afloat.
In 1978, the neighborhood rallied to purchase the First Church of Christ, Scientologist (yes, the Tom Cruise people) and convert it to a community center. Most of the offices now lie dormant, and the building needs many repairs, from the floors to the wiring, to the plumbing to the heating system. The Northwest Children’s Theater has been there for many years, and would have to find a new home as this lovely building closes down.
