Suffolk Theater

Happy Spring!!!
Today was a sunny but cold day here on Long Island. I decided to drive out to Riverhead to shop in the outlets and then sketch. The Suffolk Theater on Main Street in Riverhead recently had it's grand-opening after being renovated. It is a unique Art Deco theater that opened in 1933.
I am so glad that people are willing to preserve places like this. Too many are being lost.
This is about 6 x7 in my Stillman & Birn Alpha Journal.

  4. Reminds me of the movie "The Majestic" which my daughter and I saw together on Christmas day back when she was in high school. Lovely and I agree with your sentiments, Joan.
