In the restoration of New York City's iconic Palace Theatre, EverGreene Architectural Arts, a highly acclaimed company specializing in decorative arts, employed Aqua-Resin to restore and preserve the theater's historic elements. Aqua-Resin was used to replicate and restore intricate ornamental details throughout the theater's grand interior. The restoration process began in 2018 and was completed in 2024, with the theater reopening to the public on May 28, 2024.
The Palace Theatre, originally opened in 1913, is known for its elaborate Beaux-Arts design, featuring intricate plasterwork, gilded accents, and ornate moldings. Over time, the theater's decorative elements had deteriorated due to age, exposure, and wear. EverGreene's team of artisans utilized Aqua-Resin in the restoration process for its ability to mimic the appearance and texture of traditional plaster while offering water resistance, superior strength and flexibility.
Aqua-Resin's durability also ensures that the restored elements will stand the test of time, preserving the authenticity of the Palace Theatre's design for future generations. Through this restoration, EverGreene not only revitalized the beauty of a cultural landmark but also showcased how Aqua-Resin can play a pivotal role in preserving historic architecture.
