Un regard intérieur sur la restauration

du Théâtre Stanley

 
Ville de stanley
Quand il a ouvert en 1928, The Stanley Theatre dans Journal Square était l'un des plus grands palais de vieux films et le deuxième plus grand sur la côte Est, à côté de Radio City. Présentant à la fois des spectacles d'orchestre et de scène ainsi que des nouvelles sorties de Hollywood, il est rapidement devenu un carrefour culturel dans le quartier animé de Square Journal.
"C'était un refuge pour les habitants de Jersey City", note l'historien Richard Polton.

Conçu par l'architecte Fred Wesley Wentworth dans un grand thème vénitien, le théâtre a continué à prospérer dans les années 1960, avec des artistes allant des trois marionnettes, Jimmy Durante, Tony Bennett, Janis Joplin et Dolly Parton, à The Grateful Dead. Dans les années 1970, cependant, le théâtre, comme beaucoup de son genre, a souffert de délabrement et est devenu un grindhouse.

Les éléments spectaculaires de l'espace laissé à l'oubli, la métallurgie complexe a été peinte sur et l'organe Wurlitzer a enlevé avant sa fermeture pour de bon le 20 avril 1978. Mais en 1983, le théâtre négligé a été acheté pour 1,8 millions de dollars par la Watchtower Bible Et Tract Society de la Delaware Corporation, pour servir de salle d'assemblée pour les témoins de Jéhovah. L'histoire de sa rénovation, un déploiement de mains et d'esprits volontaires, a transformé la salle de spectacles une fois en lieu de culte sacré.

En 1988, le théâtre, inscrit au Registre des lieux historiques du Nouveau-Brunswick, a subi une première phase de rénovation, mais le dernier, terminé en neuf mois, de 2012 à 2013, a redonné encore plus de valeur et de splendeur à l'espace. Situé à proximité immédiate Le Loews
 

, les deux illustrent les résultats opposés polaires de la productivité de la restauration, soulevant la question, encore une fois, du financement d'un tel engagement massif d'un espace historique. Stanley, théâtre, tour de guet Courtoisie des Témoins de Jéhovah

"Nous sommes en grande partie autofinancés", a déclaré Robert Warren, consultant des médias pour le siège mondial des Témoins de Jéhovah, notant que le projet a été financé par des dons individuels de témoins à travers le monde. «Quiconque veut construire une tour doit d'abord compter le coût», a-t-il cité bibliquement, attribuant le financement réussi à la planification stratégique. "Plutôt que de commencer et d'escalader, nous évaluons d'abord."
Plus de deux mille bénévoles témoins de partout aux États-Unis ont travaillé ensemble sur le projet de grande envergure, avec le travail accompli par des bénévoles seulement à l'exception des entrepreneurs pour les seuls besoins de sécurité à haut risque. Regroupant des compétences diverses, la formation s'est souvent déroulée d'un témoin à l'autre.

«C'était merveilleux de voir l'esprit volontaire d'entre eux», a déclaré Chris Simonson, directeur des opérations. Simonson a noté qu'un volontaire d'Italie bien informé sur la restauration de métaux précieux était vital pour relancer les finitions de cuivre et de laiton qui avaient été peintes en couches épaisses.
L'équipe a également trouvé des objets qui étaient déjà là, mais cachés. «De nombreuses petites salles de stockage ont été installées», a déclaré Simonson. "Nous avons trouvé des endroits où les gens n'étaient pas entrés depuis des années et des lustres de 30 ans dans des boîtes, qui étaient en bon état, mais sales. Nous avons découvert des rouleaux de cuivre sur le côté du bâtiment, sous la peinture, que nous avons pensé être du bois en premier.

En pelant les couches, l'équipe a pu conserver l'élégance mais l'insuffler avec le confort. Par exemple, en rénovant les sièges, le groupe a gardé à l'esprit que les gens seraient assis pendant des périodes plus longues pendant les réunions de la congrégation qu'à l'origine, lorsque le théâtre était utilisé pour le divertissement. "Nous avons perdu 600 places, mais gardé la beauté", a déclaré Simonsson.
"Nous savons que c'est un privilège et nous considérons comme un honneur d'être ici", a ajouté Simonsson. L'attention à la préservation de la conception originale est évidente de la façade à la scène elle-même. A l'entrée extérieure, un chapiteau de cuivre brillant s'étend au-dessus d'une paire de portes en laiton massif, avec des fenêtres cintrées au-dessus.
«Ils ont vraiment construit ce dernier pour durer», a ajouté Warren.

Le lobby de trois étages est fixé avec des colonnes, un escalier central avec des mains courantes en trompe l'oeil en albâtre et des balustres, des lampes à gaz originales (depuis converties en ampoules), des rideaux de velours et des vitraux de faux "Chartre Blue" dans le foyer. Les peintures murales bibliques du peintre hongrois Willy Pogany ornaient à l'origine le plafond et les murs et furent complétées dans la rénovation de 1988.

Un autre point focal du lobby est le lustre de cristal de treize pieds suspendu au deuxième étage. Originaire de l'hôtel Waldorf-Astoria de New York dans les années 1920, il date de 1890 et est illuminé par 144 ampoules qui reflètent sur 4 500 larmes de cristal pendantes. Le montage est maintenu avec un nettoyage deux fois par an. Un regard direct sur elle révèle sa forme de flocon de neige. Sur le plancher au-dessous, est la boussole originale ciselée à la main, dont les tuiles ont été déchiquetées et replacées dans, au cours de la rénovation.

Le théâtre lui-même, plus de 3.000 places, dispose d'une cour extérieure thème des grottes, des arcs et des colonnes et un arc de proscenium modelé après le pont du Rialto. Les matériaux fournis comprennent le marbre de l'Italie, du Texas et du Vermont, du calcaire de l'Indiana et du granit du Maine pour faire face aux colonnes corinthiennes. Sur les côtés du théâtre, les fontaines fonctionnelles et originales de tête de lion datent des années 1920 et les panneaux de «sortie» ont été conservés et restaurés. Le recouvrement de cuivre sur les portes a été polie à la main pour ramener le brillant, le plafond du guichet est original, et le grand escalier dans le hall a été modelé après le Vanderbilt Mansion à Newport, RI.

«Nous attribuons automatiquement un caractère sacré à l'édifice en raison de notre culte», a déclaré Warren, de Witness Assembly Halls. "Avoir cet espace ajoute à la grandeur de pourquoi nous sommes ici."

En effet, le groupe religieux a utilisé l'espace pour ses besoins uniques. Les événements se tiennent en 13 langues et le Stanley est une destination mondiale, accueillant une réunion avec 44 pays en octobre. La belle acoustique est un atout pour les congrégations musicales lourdes, et au-dessous de la scène, où la fosse d'orchestre a été une fois, est un bassin de baptême.

Le plâtre blanc expansif, bombé, plafond de quatre-vingt-cinq pieds a permis un effet de ciel ouvert avec un spectacle «étoiles et nuages en mouvement» qui a été créé par un dispositif de projection - le «Brenkert Brenograph.» Certains des points de lumière dans Le plafond fonctionne encore aujourd'hui, créant un effet de scintillement-star-like, en invoquant les membres de la congrégation de se sentir qu'ils regardent vers le ciel lui-même.

    • An interesting concept, bible discipline. I am struck by the prevalence of ignorance about spiritual discipline on "Reddit." While physical and mental disciplines receive attention, the profound impact of spiritual discipline on a person's physical and mental well-being is often overlooked. Is it possible to argue against the words of the Apostle Paul? When he penned those words in Hebrews 12, he was recognizing that there are moments when an individual must be "rebuked" in order to be corrected. Even Jesus himself established a precedent when he rebuked Peter and referred to him as Satan for failing to comprehend what Jesus had already revealed to the apostles. Did that imply that Jesus had an evil heart? Not at all, it was quite the opposite; Jesus had a loving heart. His need to correct Peter actually showcased his genuine love for him. If he hadn't cared, he would have let Peter persist in his mistaken ways, leading to a fate similar to Judas'. There is a clear emphasis on avoiding the apostate translation and its meaning, yet many seem to overlook the biblical foundation for the reasons NOT to follow the path of the fallen brethren or those with an apostate mentality. Those individuals have embraced the path of darkness, where the illuminating power of light cannot penetrate, to avoid receiving the righteous discipline based on God's Bible teachings. They are undoubtedly aware that this undeniable truth of life must be disregarded in order to uphold their baseless justifications for the unjust act of shunning. Can anyone truly "force" someone or stop them from rejecting a friend or family member? Such a notion would be absurd, considering the fact that we all have the power of free will. If a Witness decides to distance themselves from a family member or friend simply because they have come out as gay, who is anyone within the organization to question or challenge that personal sentiment? It is unfortunate that there are individuals, both within and outside the organization, who not only lack a proper understanding of the Bible but also dare to suggest that God's discipline is barbaric. We must remember that personal choices should be respected, and it is not for others to judge or condemn someone based on their sexual orientation but should be avoided under biblical grounds. No one should have the power to compel an individual to change their sexual orientation, nor should anyone be forced to accept someone for who they are. When it comes to a family's desire to shield their children from external influences, who has the right to challenge the parents' decision? And if a family's rejection of others is based on cultural factors rather than religious beliefs, who can impose religious judgment on them? Who should true followers of Christ follow? The words of God or those who believe they can change God's laws to fit their lives? How can we apply the inspired words of Paul from God to embrace the reality of God's discipline? On the contrary, how can nonconformists expect to persuade those with a "worldview" that their religious beliefs are unacceptable by ostracizing individuals, when God condemns homosexuality? This is precisely why the arguments put forth by ex-witnesses are lacking in their pursuit of justice. When they employ misguided tactics, justice remains elusive as their arguments are either weak or inconsistent with biblical standards. Therefore, it is crucial to also comprehend Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 9:27. The use of the word "shun" is being exaggerated and excessively condemned by those who reject biblical shunning as a form of punishment. Eph 5:3-14 NIV 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person — such a man is an idolater — has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.  8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. The impact of the message becomes significantly stronger when we emphasize the importance of avoiding any association with unrighteousness and those who remain unrepentant. In fact, it becomes even more compelling when we witness how some individuals, who dismiss biblical shunning as a method of discipline, excessively criticize and condemn the use of the word "shun". Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses do not shun people; instead, they choose to focus on the negative actions being committed, which is in accordance with biblical teachings. This should be construed as ex-Witness rhetoric. Now, let's consider why ex-Witnesses specifically target one particular religion. What justifications do they provide when other Christian denominations also adhere to the same principle grounded in the Bible? Chapter 1 - Preface Both must therefore test themselves: the one, if he is qualified to speak and leave behind him written records; the other, if he is in a right state to hear and read: as also some in the dispensation of the Eucharist, according to  custom enjoin that each one of the people individually should take his part. One's own conscience is best for choosing accurately or shunning. And its firm foundation is a right life, with suitable instruction. But the imitation of those who have already been proved, and who have led correct lives, is most excellent for the understanding and practice of the commandments. "So that whosoever shall eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."  It therefore follows, that every one of those who undertake to promote the good of their neighbours, ought to consider whether he has betaken himself to teaching rashly and out of rivalry to any; if his communication of the word is out of vainglory; if the the only reward he reaps is the salvation of those who hear, and if he speaks not in order to win favour: if so, he who speaks by writings escapes the reproach of mercenary motives. "For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know," says the apostle, "nor a cloak of covetousness. God is witness. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children."   (from Ante-Nicene Fathers, Volume 2) Divine promises 2. The manner of shunning, in the word escaping. There is a flying away required, and that quickly, as in the plague, or from a fire which hath almost burned us, or a flood that breaketh in upon us. We cannot soon enough escape from sin (Matt 3:7; Heb 6:18). No motion but flight becomes us in this case. Doctrine: That the great end and effect of the promises of the gospel is to make us partakers of the Divine nature. (from The Biblical Illustrator)  
    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)
