| The final night scene is finished, which is also the final scene of the painting, and is also Stambaugh Auditorium. Here's some facts from Wikipedia, and /www.stambaughauditorium.com Stambaugh Auditorium is a public auditorium located in Youngstown, Ohio in the United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Stambaugh Auditorium opened in 1926, financed by Henry H. Stambaugh, one of the city's leading businessmen in the early 20th century. The centerpiece of the complex is the concert hall, which can hold a capacity crowd of 2,554. The auditorium also features a 9,700-square-foot (900 m2) ballroom, a smaller recital hall, and a garden at the southern end of the building, all of which can be rented out for private functions. Audiences and performers alike have praised the acoustics of the concert hall, which was designed for symphonic music performances. The auditorium was built in the Greco-Roman style. Stambaugh's is located north of the Youngstown's downtown area. It faces once-fashionable Fifth Avenue, which was among the city's most exclusive residential districts in the 1920s. At the time of the auditorium's grand opening, residents of the neighborhood included chief donor Henry Stambaugh. Architecturally, Stambaugh Auditorium is a free rendition of the classic as a exemplified in the Italian Renaissance. The structure was modeled after the public auditorium in Springfield, Massachusetts, which in turn was designed from the Pantheon in Paris. Helmle and Corbett Architects of New York City were the creators.Originally intended to be erected either downtown or at the center of Wick Park, the 300 by 70 site at 1000 Fifth Avenue proved to be a wise choice, one which was enlarged to provide for parking areas when more land became available. Indiana limestone was used for the exterior walls. Inside areas feature top quality oak paneling, marble benches and again Indiana limestone. I'll show you the whole painting next time. |
