Inside the Kimo - Part 2
While it's easy to notice the Kimo is a beautiful building, the experience of a guided tour pointed out many details we would not have otherwise noticed.
For instance, the intricate crane design of the banister is an original aspect of the building. Some parts of the design have bent legs, while other parts of the design's legs are much more straight. This is due to the fact that after some time, the bent legs of the structure couldn't handle the weight of droves of audiences leaning upon them, and they began to deteriorate, decades later. The people in charge of maintenance at the time hunted down the grandson of the original creator of the banister, and thankfully he was still involved in the family business. He repaired the bent and breaking banister pieces, giving them straighter legs for more stability.
The buffalo heads that line the hallway have red glowing eyes, and have apparently been frightening children for many decades.
Every inch of this building is utilized to showcase its original style. The Kimo Theatre is breathtaking in it's intricate details.
The art in this Buffalo make by a person is really diffetent i mean specially the eyes of this Buffalo is look like some devil.

Those cranes in the banister are really neat. I wouldn't have noticed them if they weren't pointed out. Did they mention the swastika on the pillar with the buffalo head? Is that the version based on luck or the version based on hate? Lol

In this case, it's the symbol for prosperity. They explained it in the tour, also the city explains the swastikas on their website, as many people are perplexed by its presence.
I see. That makes sense. I figured it was the symbol of prosperity but was wondering if they actually mentioned it during the tour. I guess they would kind of have to nowadays lol.

That buffalo skull is awesome! I want one of those to hang on the wall at my house. I don't think my wife would approve, but I think it would be good. This really does look like a truly special place.
