Irvington Town Hall Theater
The Irvington Town Hall Theater
was built in 1902 in the Classic
Revival Style. Designed by A. J.
Manning and patterned after the
Ford Theater in Washington, DC,
the Theater is a multipurpose
concert hall/music theater
located on the entire third
floor of Town Hall in downtown
Irvington, New York. The
432-seat theater features an
orchestra, mezzanine, balcony
and six charming gold leafed
boxes, a proscenium stage and
thrust complete with five
backstage dressing rooms.
Theater patrons sit in intimate
ambiance. Gleaming white columns
and Ionic capitals set off the
warm ivory interior. The walls
are wainscoted in warm oak.
Victorian chandeliers and
sconces were copied from the
originals, during the
restoration to its original
elegance in 1980. A plush red
stage curtain and a forty-two
foot high skylight complete the
setting. Architecturally
significant, the Theater is
listed on the national Register
of Historic Places.
With
pleasing proportions and marvelous
acoustics, the Theater has been
touted as “one of the finest
municipal halls in eastern New York
State” by Alvah French History of
Westchester County, “A jewel of a
theater on the Hudson” by Robert
Sherman New York Times and
“Acoustically superb” by Lou
Cevetillo Opera Critic Gannett
Newspapers. |
