Location: Manistee, Michigan
Opened in 1938, and once billed as "one of the most modern theaters in the State of Michigan," the Vogue Theater was renovated in 2013 to become the beautiful landmark that so many Manistee residents remember. Part of this renovation required restoration of the north and east exterior walls and replacement of building structure that had undergone severe rusting, damaging the brick and plaster façade in the process. This deterioration over time was caused by the intrusion of moisture into the wall. Restoration of the façade included measures taken to properly manage the moisture and vastly improve on the building envelope.
