Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tennessee / USA

 

I got this postcard via Postcrossing from Whitney. Isn't it a heartwarming postcard?

The Franklin Theatre opened in Franklin near Nashville in 1937. First shown film was The Night Must Fall starring Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell.

Over the years, the cinema became an important place for the residents of Franklin, filled with cultural experiences and personal memories. That is, until 2007, when the theater had to close due to high costs and low revenue.

Already in 2008, the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County launched the Save the Franklin Theatre campaign and begins fundraising and planning to restore the historic landmark. In 2013, the Franklin Theatre reopened its doors and offers different cultural events, among them of corse films. 

The postcard was created by Andy Gregg and Joel Anderson from the Anderson Design Group in 2011 in honor of this special building.
