Thornton Jenkins Memorial Auditorium

Malden High School

M&A completed the woodwork restoration of the 1930's high school this year, including the restoration of the auditorium. An Art Deco beauty, the space was paneled in Avodire mahogany veneer, which had suffered mightily over the years. M&A was able to replace heavily damaged panel sections with a matching veneer, and the remainder of the panels were carefully restored and refinished. The original plaster light fixtures were replaced in wood to match the originals, and several entries were reconfigured with new panels and surrounds blended with the original. The auditorium was dedicated by the Mayor in a civic ceremony attended by hundreds of proud alumni and Malden residents.
