Jefferson Theater almost finished

Crews are putting the finishing touches on the 1912 Jefferson Theater in anticipation of its long-awaited re-opening as a four-level music hall. In this November 17 photo, the 1915 plasterwork by French sculptor Victor Pierret (he had to re-do his work after a devastating fire three years after the place opened) leaps out from an eggplant-colored background. Last time the Hook peeked in was nearly eight weeks ago when this space was filled with scaffolding.
