Hunting deep pockets
The space is cold and dark, with a tin ceiling hanging by a thread, crumbling plaster and floor boards discolored and worn smooth in places by 150 years of foot traffic.
The hall, built in 1864 during the Civil War, provided live entertainment and banquets until 1929. From 1929 to 1959 it was a movie theater.
There have been many attempts to restore the old building. In 1987, a group of community members formed Johnson Hall, Inc., a non-profit organization with the purpose of restoring and operating the theater.
That group raised $250,000 to renovate the first floor into a 110-seat performance space.
Since 2002, the group has raised $220,000 to repair the roof, replace windows, spruce up the first floor office and performance space and repoint the exterior brick.
The focus has now shifted to the second and third floors.
The Johnson Hall Renovation Partnership, made up of Johnson Hall. Inc., Gardiner Board of Trade, Gardiner Main Street and the city of Gardiner, have completed the "pre-development phase," which included concept drawings, a business plan, and parking study, and are now ready to launch a capital campaign.
The $5.3 million renovation project includes the second floor, where a lobby used to be along with dressing rooms and bathrooms; a soaring theater space on the third floor; and a 16-foot-wide addition.
Before they can kick off their campaign they need one thing.
Major contributors.
"What we need to make that work is a couple of lead donors to start who can contribute between $500,000 and $1 million . . . for people to believe in it and know that it's happening," said Judy Lloyd, the center's executive director. "People who invest in the project would be eligible for historical tax credits. And there's a whole lot of grants out there that we would be looking for. But the grants and tax credits are dependent on getting local support, individual and corporate donors behind it financially. They want to know local people are deeply committed."
Lloyd said a restored 400-seat theater would include a conference center and lobbies overlooking the Johnson Hall Mini Park.
Between 1869 and 1929 the third-floor theater had live shows.
Benjamin Johnson, who owned a local hotel and tavern, had the Italianate brick structure built in 1864 to provide a place for large gatherings and entertainment.
