Help the Alabama Theatre shine a light on Birmingham’s 18th Street.

When the iconic Alabama Theatre opened in 1927, two sides of the building were illuminated with huge vertical signs, rimmed by dancing lights. While the sign on Third Avenue North still proudly hangs on the building, the one on 18th Street is a long-forgotten memory. Now the Alabama Theatre is calling for everyone statewide to help restore that original look in this, the 90th year of the theater.

The theater is among 25 finalists across the nation vying for grant funding through the 2017 Partners in Preservation #VoteYourMainStreet. Through this competition, people can vote for their favorite historic sites along 25 of America’s main streets. The winners will divide $1.5 million.Votes can be cast through Oct. 31 online at BigAlabamaSIGN.com.
