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.
