Donated items salvaged from Fox Theater for sale
Want to own a piece of Riverside history? Here’s your chance!
In cooperation with Habitat for Humanity Riverside, the Old Riverside Foundation is selling recently donated items salvaged from the historic Riverside Fox Theater. The items — doors, windows and power switches — were saved during the theater’s 3-year, $32 million renovation that was completed in 2010.
We think the doors and windows would make a nice historic art piece for anyone’s home or business. They could also be an interesting trellis or accent for any backyard garden. And the power switches would add interesting color to any mantle or wall.
The sale begins Saturday, May 5 at Habitat for Humanity’s Riverside ReStore, located at 2180 Iowa Avenue (near Spruce Street). Proceeds will help benefit historic preservation efforts of Old Riverside Foundation as well as support Habitat for Humanity Riverside’s home ownership mission.
