Last Plea for Help*

update Aug 24, 2021 letter ~ landmark Capitol-Park Theater, Racine, Wisconsin

• 

Thank-you to all of you (thousands of people) who joined the effort to save the 1928 historic landmark Capitol-Park Theater. Though we didn’t save it, we came close. During this effort, we also worked with 8 attorneys (6 were pro bono) but as things progressed, we needed intense hours of legal work and drafting of specialized documents, so we needed to hire a firm. 
We have already sent four installments and are almost ready to send a 5th which will total $4, 670 to the law firm, made with direct contributions, and historic brick sales! So far, direction contributions (thank-you) from
Pippin Michelli, Paul Zens, Judith Schulz, Jon Eeg, Jane Brosseau, Mary Ann McGinn,  Peter Trefren,  anonymous, Sally Brown, Barbara Luke, Marcia Pfost, Sandra Schwellenback. Tony & Vivian Merlo, Allen Raasch, Richard Kalinoski, Emily Hein, Tom Elias, Joanne Haysmer-Wachs, Jeanne Denney, Reme Sullivan, Marta Kultgen, Deborah Yale, Tim Miller,
Ruth Mitchell, Mark Giese, Joy Webb, Kathy Carson,
(and may we add your name to this list?)

Hope you are checking our Facebook posts about the Capitol Theater and info for updates. The raze was so wrong.   Many of us were there daily to document the stages of this, learning more about the building’s 93-year-old structure.  It was built even stronger than anyone thought! 

Sadly, the site has been filled with truckloads of fill dirt, the raze is completed. The grass is now growing. There is nothing visible left of the Capitol-Park Theater on the site anymore. It did gain Landmark status, thanks to the efforts of many. 

~ A requiem will be held on the former site of the Capitol Theater. (TBA)
