S is for scaffolding

We have an old theatre in town that shows good movies. Many of the seats need repairs—especially the ones where you sink into holes or feel a wire. Several months ago a man who used to attend the theatre as a child purchased the building. He's in the process of remodeling. The most exciting part—he wants the renovations to eventually replicate the original building—circa 1930s.
