Oh, I completely understand (and admire) what he was striving for. Here in Richmond, we have a golden-era theater called The Byrd. It has been well-maintained and is quite a joy to attend on occasion.

Upon closer inspection of his image gallery of the design and creation process, I have to admire his dedication to detail. I can't image how much that theater costs, but I would venture that it estimates more than my house is worth. The guy even had 300 fiber-optic stars hand threaded into the dome. Amazing!
