Remodeled Interior, ca. 2009
Reflective of residential and commercial renovations taking place throughout the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood, the remodeled Capitol Theatre preserves the history of the building and community while simultaneously meeting the current economic and technological needs of a modern movie house. Although the theater has been divided into three auditoriums in order to draw a diverse audience, neoclassical architectural details and features such as wagon wheel lighting have been preserved in order to maintain the building's history and to give the theater a 1920s atmosphere.
