Did you know?

The Tivoli Theatre, with its dazzling grand lobby, domed ceiling, and crystal chandeliers, was almost demolished in the 1950s due to the rise of television, but it was saved by a grant from Chattanooga’s Benwood Foundation in 1962 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
