985 Howard Street was three stories tall and ninety feet deep. The rehearsal studio was on the ground floor. In its heyday, the middle floor included a huge darkroom. And the top floor held a ping-pong table, living room, library, bathrooms, and kitchen. Two chickens lived briefly on the roof.

The front of the building was cast concrete with an art deco motif. During its rehearsal studio days the door was plain with a modest "Time And Space" sign.

Nice logo. Too bad they don't know how many sides an octagon has.

The current building has a roll-up metal door. During the days of Time And Space, there was no roll-up door. Instead the opening was covered with plywood and painted black.
