Most winners are residences but the State Theatre rocked the house, and was awarded Project of the Year! The State is a stellar example of the Art Deco style from 1942. With an addition wedged into the alley, a new marquee and the creation of four separate theaters, the State had a total makeover. The O’Neal Construction Team, with Quinn Evans Architects, did an outstanding job with this challenging project, making the theater a destination at the end of Liberty Street. It was the vision of Michigan Theater Foundation CEO and Executive Director, Russ Collins, that made this undertaking a reality. Russ was awarded Preservationist of the Year. He has been at the helm for 35 years and previously restored The Michigan, also by O’Neal Construction.
