Some people think these buildings are in too bad of condition or would be too expensive to save. With that attitude, we would never have had the gorgeous Playhouse square renovation! The downtown movie houses were built only a couple years before these, and sat vacant for way longer. The price tag to restore before CPH moved in was well over 20 million and the road that lead there had an unlikely start. Read more about the history of saving Playhouse Square theaters.

The Brooks and Drury also deserve to be saved and remembered as part of CPH’s rich history. It just takes people working together, caring about a place, spreading the word, and a lot of creativity to make it happen. Thank you for your support!
