State Theatre Conservation of Butterfly Room

The drama of the Gothic street frontage is married with Gothic, Baroque and French Empire influences for the interiors.  Individual historical themes and architectural imagery features in each of the spacious retiring rooms and lobbies, extending even to the public toilets!

ICS was originally engaged by the State Theatre in 1999 to do paint scrapes, after the extensive building conservation work in the 1980s.  In the early 200s ICS was commissioned to conserve painted wall panels, and in 2015 ICS was again commissioned to transform the Futurist Room to its former glory.

The Butterfly Room is one of a series of highly decorated themed rooms, all of which retain elements of their original format and decoration.  In 2017 ICS was engaged to uncover the original Butterfly Room decorations and return the whole room to its original intended appearance.
