After the Flood: Restoring the Paramount Theatre, Cedar Rapids, IA

When a disastrous flood hit Cedar Rapids, IA, in 2008, it left the downtown area, including the historic Paramount Theatre, under water.

The grand foyer features a custom mural at the west wall above the entry doors. The original – designed by Rambusch Studios – was either removed or never installed. The Classical-style pastoral scene was re-created by New York City-based muralist Mason Nye from a 1930 black-and-white Rambusch advertisement.
