| A dozen
Austin photographers gathered to record and interpret Palmer
one last time before the start of demolition. Given
the run of the house, I found a multi-story ladder going from the stage to where the curtains
were housed. My kids found a short ladder above the pulleys
that led to a hatch door. We popped the hatch and found
ourselves on top of the stage house, above the dome.
Here is the view from there — showing the new Austin
Skyline with the Frost Tower in the center, and the old, patchwork
dome of Municipal Auditorium. |
