news-jefferson-peek 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.

    Thank you Hawes Spencer, for seeing this grand old lady through a difficult time so she could regain her beauty, and live to see another day.

    “History will continue to live at the Jefferson,” says Spencer, citing Capshaw’s goal of preserving the historic beauty of the 1912 structure while bringing in more special events.
