SPENCER, IND. — Architect George Ridgway and Pritchett Brothers, a Bloomington-based general contractor, have completed the renovation of the Tivoli Theatre in Spencer, located about 17 miles northwest of Bloomington. The transformation includes restored interior and exterior features and an addition to the north side of the building, which provides a kitchen, restrooms and additional office space. A project cost was not disclosed. Construction on the theater began in April 2012. Cook Group Inc. sponsored the renovation of the theater, which is owned by Owen County Preservations. The theater originally opened on New Year’s Eve in 1928. The Tivoli was damaged in a fire in 1985, but continued to operate until 1998 and fell into disrepair.
