according to the terry town music hall's website, it was built in 1885 by william wallace. it is the oldest operating theater in westchester county, having been designed by the same architect who designed new york city's grand central stages and -- station and macy's building. today it is a fully operating theeter with a capacity to seat an 843-seat audience. terry town music hall is known for its excellent acoustics. in fact, in 1997, jazz singer tony bennett performed there in celebrated fashion without a microphone. mr. speaker, the question i guess is, should taxpayers fund the restoration of a music hall where acclaimed artists such as bruce springsteen, lyle lovett and james taylor have performed? this theater was also the site for sceneses in movies such as "the preacher's wife" and "the good shepherd." is such a site not able to sustain itself with private donations? and if that is the case, that it cannot sustain itself with private donations, then i would suggest that, is there sufficient public interest to restore this hall so much, if private money can't be rais
