Description
The sky was especially colorful on the evening that I took this photograph, and I felt fortunate to catch the evening glow at just the right moment. This photo is of particular interest because it shows the newly constructed sign for the refurbished Cameo Theatre. Also shown in the background is the iconic “Bristol is a Good Place To Live” sign, along with that of the sign for the Paramount Theatre. The photograph also shows Bristol, Tennessee and Bristol,Virginia... Historic twin cities separated by the state line down the middle of State Street.
The original Cameo Theatre was built in 1925 at Bristol, Virginia. The seating capacity was 700, and the project cost $125,000. The theatre was said to be a theatre devoted to motion pictures, vaudeville and legitimate attractions. As of 2021, the newly restored Cameo Theatre is being opened as a venue for musical groups. The beautiful new sign for the Cameo Theatre as shown in this photograph was erected in 2021.
Thank you for viewing my gallery. I hope you will find my artwork worthy of hanging in your home or office, and trust you will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed presenting it to you.
