Weren't there two statuettes on the top of the building once? Did they topple, too?
Seem to remember some campaign or other to get them back...
Cue historians...

The museum still has them in storage. I was lucky enough to see them a few years ago.

So is the venue having to close until it is considered safe?

I don't think there's any danger of it falling down completely. It certainly isn't closed.

I have heard that there was a disturbance there last Saturday evening, when a woman "spoiling for a fight" went into the ladies and came out with another woman by the hair, resulting in an unsightly cat-fight. Apparently, when a man went to part them another man saw this as an opportunity to have mixed doubles.
And the function that evening was the comedy club. Charming [V]
