SitemapThe Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation is having an online auction to sell 28 items or batches of items left behind when the group bought the former Foster Theater on Glenwood Avenue.
Included in the auction are movie projectors, signs and movie reels. One listing called “eight parts related to film” contains film splice tape patches, for example.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit revitalization of the theater by YNDC.
Its executive director, Ian Beniston, said the building has an architectural style that is “atypical of the Mahoning Valley” and worthy of being preserved.
He said YNDC plans to restore the theater’s marquee and facade, but it has not decided yet how the building will be used.
