Demolishing the Boyd

Demolition continues on Chestnut Street's 1928 Boyd Theater, the city's lone survivor of Hollywood's golden age. The Historical Commission's hardship committee granted owner Pearl Properties permission to tear down everything but the Chestnut Street facade and an exterior vestibule to be turned into a 27-story apartment tower.

The Historical Commission meets Tuesday, May 26, on the developers plans to build a loading dock in the space occupied by the Boyd's Art Deco foyer, which preservationists thought would be preserved. TOM GRALISH / Staff Photographer
