BUCKSPORT – On Feb. 26, Northeast Historic Film will close the front doors of the Alamo Theatre until April 13. Backhoes will move in to start structural renovations from the basement up. Contractors will install new steel supports for the first and second floors from the newly restored auditorium forward to Main Street.

“Our auditorium is working well as a community center and space for educational and entertainment programs,” said David Weiss, NHF’s executive director. “Now we need to bring the front half of the building up to that level, figuratively and literally. We need to raise the ceilings on both stories for exhibition, study center and curatorial activities.”

There will be no movies at the Alamo from Feb. 26 to April 12.
