Preservation Study of the Second Balcony at the Grand Opera House, Macon, Bibb County, GeorgiaDescription
"New South Associates is pleased to present this preservation study of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed Grand Opera House’s second balcony, which was used historically as a segregated seating section for the theater’s African-American patrons. This endeavor was made possible by a grant from the Fox Theater Institute. The goals of the study were to provide the Grand Opera House with documentation through large format photography and laser scanning, to conduct research in order to provide a context for segregated theater space during Jim Crow, to provide a comprehensive history of the Grand Opera House itself, to compare it to other segregated theater space in Georgia and the southern region, and to identify preservation options for the historic space."https://ursa.mercer.edu/bitstream/handle/10898/5145/GrandOpera_SecondBalcony_Final-reduced%20%281%29.pdf.jpg?sequence=4&isAllowed=y
