Beginning mid-June, restoration of the main auditorium began.
The Dependable Painting Co. of Cleveland, Ohio began restoring
the coffered ceiling to its original colors and splendor using
various
techniques
including
sponging,
mottling,
and stenciling.
Gold leaf decoration will be re-applied to various art forms
such as egg and dart, beading, and leafing. During this time,
the original brass and bronze chandeliers were restored to their
original beauty.
Currently, all of the woodwork and molding in the auditorium
is being re-finished to its orignal luster. All stone work including
the Corinthian columns have
been power washed and cleaned using a baking soda and water solution
under
pressure. This phase of the
work was accomplished by VIP Restoration Co.
The
next phase of the process is planned to begin September 26, with
the installation of new royal blue carpeting featuring a wreath
and medallion design in red and gold. This will complete this
year's restoration of Stambaugh Auditorium's Concert Hall. Plans
to refurbish the seating within the concert hall to a royal blue,
complementary to the newly installed carpeting are aimed for
the summer of 2005. Fund-raising to begin shortly.
• Each year the auditorium is host to Williamsburg Christmas, a
top class craft show put on by the Boardman-Poland junior Womens
League, the Saturday and Sunday before Thanksgiving. Crafters
in colonial dress and special holiday decorations make this
weekend one that tour groups attend regularly. A colonial restaurant
and
a lunch counter make spending a day at the Williamsburg Christmas
easy.
• Throughout the year, weddings and wedding receptions are weekly
happenings in the building. From small to very large gatherings
each couple gives the hall a special look on their very special
day.
