The Clarendon Economic Development Corporation embarked on Phase 2 of the Mulkey Project this week, authorizing Pioneer General Contractors to proceed with the first interior renovations of the theatre.
Phase 2 work will focus on restoring the 1946 building’s lobby, ticket booth, and restrooms and is expected to cost a maximum of $148,515.
Funding for this work will come from the Clarendon Hotel Occupancy Tax fund, CEDC funds, and funds donated privately to the Clarendon Community Fund.
The scope of work will include replacing the floor in the lobby, repairing and repainting plaster walls and ceilings, restoring neon cove lighting, and refinishing the Mulkey’s original concession showcase.
Pioneer will also be restoring woodwork, installing interior hardware on the new front doors that were part of Phase 1, and installing new light fixtures.
Project officials intend to have Phase 2 completed in time for this year’s Mulkey Block Party, which will be Saturday, May 24.
