This is an open letter to all interested parties concerning the progress of The Dodge Theater Foundation working on restoration of the Dodge Theater. This organization is a 501 C- 3

Recent Activities:   Some work has been as of this date June 16, 2017.  The entry way canopy has been removed.  Some leaks have been fixed on the roof, more to do.  The entry way carpet has been removed (tattered and worn), and other minor work inside.   

Proposed projects and estimated costs:

As this building is listed on the Kansas historical registry there are certain requirements for maintaining the historical integrity of the building. This sometimes gives rise to repair and restoration work.

The program that has been determined to follow includes the following:

Stucco Work               Estimate $45,000

Entry way Floor          Estimate $ 5,000

Ceiling                        Estimate $ 3,200

Lighting chandeliers   Estimate $ 4,600

Doors                          Estimate $ 7,500

Decorative Brick         Estimate $    600

                                    _________________

This total estimate                  $65,900

 

This is by no means the total extent of the needs, but it a start.
