A small town is getting a grant to save the Sunflower. “This grant pretty much assures that we are serious about what we are doing,” said Susan Mayo, local artist and musician. The Sunflower Theatre is a bit of living history in Peabody. Built in the 1920s with art deco and Spanish Colonial revivalist influence, it was all the rage when it opened. But, unfortunately, the theatre was converted to a bowling alley in the 1950s. “We are bringing it back,” said Mayo. “Out-of-towners will probably appreciate it more than the in-towners,” said Marilyn Jones, local historian.
