Earlier this year, I was honored to be among a select group of photographers who were allowed to document the interior of the Carolina Theatre inside the Montgomery Building in downtown Spartanburg.
#TheCarolinaTheater is a historic landmark, hidden in the lowest level of the Montgomery Building. The majority of the Montgomery Building is currently being renovated by The Harper Corporation. The Carolina Theater is yet to be renovated.
From www.themontgomerybuilding.com: "Historic. Iconic. Innovative. This is The Montgomery Building.
A Spartanburg landmark…reimagined for the New South. Born out of the
economic boom of the 1920s, this architectural gem is poised to infuse
new energy into the heart of downtown Spartanburg’s vibrant landscape.
Centrally located in the heart of Hub City, The Montgomery Building
is located just a few blocks from Morgan Square, universities, shops and
business offices. With a knowing nod to its storied past, The
Montgomery Building stands ready to usher an exciting future into this
great Southern City.
Coming in late 2018, The Montgomery Building, newly renovated, will
again serve the downtown community as a mixed-use complex. The ground
floor will feature select boutique retail stores and possibly an
intimate restaurants, the second floor will be offices topped by eight
floors of high-end residential apartments.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Montgomery
Building will retain its unique architecture, while catering to the
modern needs and interests of urban residents." Many thank-you's to Preservation South Carolina and Andrew Cooke for allowing us to take photos and raise money to help restore this historic landmark. I hope that the Carolina Theater will also be restored sometime in the future.
