Reconstructed this structure from old photos but few seem to exist. So I left things intentionally vague. I tried to recon some of the interior but couldn’t find any archival photos to use. I did come across dozens of photos of the patrons, the “Blitz Kids”. That makes sense as the buliding and interior were never the heart of the culture, the people and to a lesser extent the music were the art. Blitz Kids would prepare outfits for weeks and spend hours on make up. Their fashion , style and music helped define the 80s. Some went on to sucessful careers in music and fashion design. So I added some of those photos to a rudimentary interior. More as an echo of memory of the people than a faithful reproduction of the interior.
