Walking through the doors of Landmark theater in Syracuse, New York, is like stepping through a portal and into another world. The overwhelming ornateness and quiet of the interior stands in sharp contrast to the disrepair and noise of Salina street where it’s located. It’s as if this theater is frozen in 1928, when the economy of the town was prospering from its natural salt resources. The view of this place in its setting brings time into view along with everything we do to stave off its passing.
