Movieland Tour

The front entrance.
Note the gaslight style lampost.

Bike racks for nearby moviegoers.

Across the parking lot is the restaurant, up for lease in Spring.

A bit of (unfilled) retail space on the Boulevard side.

They left some of the historical railroad tracks in the parking lot.
They originally ran from the factory to the old Broad Street Station (now the Science Museum).

A sculpture created by the architects fabricated from interior beams.

The box office area.
Note the artifacts mounted on the wall.

Guest Services area, where they promise someone will always be.


Here’s where they’ll serve beer & wine (with tables and chairs).
It’s up to the ABC Board if drinks will be allowed in the auditoriums.

The concession area where they’ll serve fresh popcorn and hot snacks like pizza and chicken fingers. This area will also feature two giant photos of locomotives (with sound dampening on the back).
Note the upstairs walkway for the projectionists.

Their special Bow-Tie carpet.

The superfast Dyson Airblade hand dryers in the rest rooms.
Thanks to John Sarvay for the hand job.

The owners Charles Moss Jr. and Ben Moss in one of the auditoriums.
They fell in love with Richmond on a motorcycle tour thru the Shenandoah Valley.

They first looked at the Berry Burke building downtown, then bought this lot at 4th and Main (where they decided not to build).
Note the Bow-Tie sign.

Special bonus for my readers: This Leigh Street “lower parking lot” entrance will be the best way to avoid the cluster at the primary entrance.
Note the cinema across the lot.
