Wedged behind the marquee of the Ohio Theater on Fourth Street, an enormous crane was spotted this morning hauling materials up and down the 15 floors that separate the roof of the Brown Hotel from the sidewalk. That’s quite a reach.
If you recall from April, we reported that the Brown is installing a $750,000 new rooftop event space and garden, designed by Joseph & Joseph Architects. The 4,000-square-foot deck was slated to open this month, and there’s still plenty of time to go.
For more on the rooftop and the view from the top of the Brown, read our previous report.

Brandon, it’s marquee, not marquis. Although the idea that the Ohio Theater has its own French nobleman is amusing.
Thanks for the catch, Carolyn. Typing a bit too fast apparently!
