The Stanley Theatre and Sound Stage
A Baroque movie palace in Utica, The Stanley Theatre and Sound Stage is located on the expanding southern edge of downtown, some four blocks away from Utica’s theater district. The design motif of The Stanley Theatre is dubbed “Mexican Baroque” because of its unique blend of styles. The terra cotta and tiled mosaic exterior shows its Mexican influence, while Habsburg lions, Indian faces and a multitude of angels and cherubs grace the lavish gold leaf Baroque theater’s interior. Legend has it that the grand entry staircase was designed to resemble the main staircase on the Titanic.
