Webster Hall set for interior demolition

New owners of the venue are planning renovations for the space.

Permits have been filed for the interior demolition of Webster Hall in New York City, Dec. 11, a blog post by EV Grieve says. The new owners of the venue plan to renovate the space.

Martinez & Johnson Architecture, Washington, is slated to work on the renovations. The blog post says the firm also worked on renovations of the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn and the Boston Opera House.

Webster Hall closed Aug. 10. Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment, Brookyln, New York, and The Bowery Presents, New York City, bought Webster Hall from the Ballinger family in the spring for $35 million, the blog post says.

The new owners plan to drop the club nights previously held at the venue and focus on live music, the blog post says. The renovations will not be complete until 2020.
