Description
A prominent building in historic downtown Savannah, Georgia, the Lucas Theatre opened its doors in December 1921.
The theater’s design combined Arthur Lucas’ favorite architectural details from the Greek revival, Adams-inspired, Art Deco and Neoclassical periods. Lucas owned more than 40 theaters in the South – six of them in Savannah – but the Lucas was the only one to bear his name. From the outset, he intended the Lucas to be a “preminent amusement palace.”
Lucas was also very community-oriented. He wrote numerous essays about art and theatre’s place in people’s lives, and wrote letters of welcome to new residents and newborn children in Savannah.
It took me a very long time and many visits to the theater to get a shot of it in the evening without traffic, parked cars or people in the scene. Not an easy task!
