[SML] light board

[Richard John Archer]

Here's a pic of the old resistance board  from the Savoy theatre, Brooklyn.   Torn down last year--- was in pretty good shape because it had been used by a church for years.  Was just down the street from where my daughter was living (she moved since)
I can seem to grab it...use this link

Savoy demolition article here:......it sold at a seemingly very low price given it's size and location.....not that there's ever anything fishy going on with NYC real estate but this sold for $575,000 while a  450 sq ft one bedroom condo in a building across the street (about the same vintage) is going for $395,000.
