Through generous donations, the Hill Event Center has been created in the newly renovated Goldstein Fur Building in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Adjacent to the Alabama Theatre, this elegant banquet hall is designed for wedding receptions, special events, corporate meetings, reunions, parties and pre-and post-show functions.
This historic space has been transformed with rare art and antiques. The five Tutwiler chandeliers were donated to the Alabama Theatre by long-time supporter and former charter member, Freeman Andress. Originally, the chandeliers were to be placed in the Lyric Theatre after restoration. However, the French Louis XV style of the chandeliers did not correspond to the Vaudeville interior of the Lyric Theatre. Other rare pieces include the Hill Complex building directory, which was relocated to the lobby from the 1914 Lyric Theatre, and various pieces of furniture from the home of Ernie and Ora Lee Hill.
