Photo du jour: Boulder Theater restored

The Boulder Theater's iconic terracotta facade has been restored after years of water damage.

Why it matters: The eight-year project preserved one of Boulder's most beloved landmarks.

State of play: Cracks were first discovered in 2018, leading to years of investigation and early leak repairs in 2022.

• The full restoration began in August and wrapped up in early October, costing roughly $454,000, according to Boulder Reporting Lab.

What's next: The refreshed facade will welcome filmgoers when the Sundance Film Festival relocates to Boulder in 2027.
