Michael Pagano, part of the lead architectural firm for the restoration of The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts, told attendees at the Preservation Worcester annual meeting last night about the painstaking detail work that went into recreating the historic downtown landmark.
Speaking within the ornate confines of the theatre, Mr. Pagano, president of Lamoureux Pagano Associates, explained that in the early phases of what ballooned into a $31 million project, architects didn’t have access to the original drawings.
