We need to save this historic Anchorage Theatre

 

It is time to save this historic Anchorage landmark.  This theater opened in 1942 had been used for 60 years as a meeting center.  This theater has been allowed to decay over the past 20 years due to neglect.  It is time to contact mayor Dave Bronson's office and offer a price to the developer.  With the help of Anchorage Economic Development Corporation we can make this theater back to its intend purpose to be a meeting center and have the Anchorage Assembly meet there.  


 

Back in 1947 the theater looked like this.  Wouldn't this be great as the Assembly chamber and even put a Library here.  There is 8.2 million dollars in construction money available if a library is included. 

These are pictures of the Loussac Library when it was at 5th and F Street imagine a Downtown Branch at that location. 

 This was also the home to one of Anchorage's TV stations from 1957 to 1981 to a television station called KENI TV before it was bought by a Bellevue, Washington broadcasting company which changed it name to KTUU moved it to Midtown Anchorage. 

 Please contact Mayor Dave Bronson at (907) 343-7100 at Dave.Bronson@anchorageak.gov as well as Christopher Constant at (907) 343-4112 at Christopher.Constant@Anchorageak.gov.  We need to save this landmark for demolition.  Anchorage protects its history not let it go to the wrecking ball which is what this Assembly does to common sense.  

SAVE THE ANCHORAGE 4TH AVENUE THEATER FROM THE WRECKING BALL.
