Can I be cheeky though and ask if there's any chance of you also doing a render of the exterior as it might have looked when the place was open as a theatre or cinema? There are a couple of photographic sources for that; it would be lovely to be able to see a before and after as it were!

As indicated in the text, it seems to date from around 1900.
The fairly poor quality is due to the automatic resizing my picture hosting provider imposes on pics over 250k. I can provide full size scans if anyone is interested.
