That is the sad fact...I don't recall Manning Brothers having anything years back when Bud Manning still was on Church St & John R. WSU painted out the interior at least once. There is no dome, but the framing of course is all still above the auditorium celling. The plaster work from the Temple was all removed. One of the architectural magazines did a write up but its been so many years I don't remember which one. I'm attaching the link to the Bonstelle WSU page which has photographs showing the entry, lobby, wood paneling, and general proscenium and side wall views. There are bits of Orchestra Hall and draped arches where boxes would have been and a standard proscenium. Large balcony stepped ceiling above. A comfortable room...Crane's office crew led by Dixon B Kellogg did great work.
