Description

Created in 1901, by scenic artist, Daniel O’ Connell, Tiffin Scenic Studios has become one of the country’s foremost stage designers and manufacturers.Housed originally in an old theater building, the studio’s first activities were centered mainly on painting, finishing drapery and refurbishing drapes and scenery for trouping vaudeville and opera companies. During prohibition, the business moved to a building formerly used as a brewery. The size and shape of the brewery building proved to be ideal for housing the multiple paint frames and the motorized paint bridge essential to the scenic trade.Tiffin Scenic Studios was incorporated in 1941 with James F. Kuebler as the president and major stockholder. Under Mr. Kuebler’s direction, the focus of the business shifted from painted scenery to stage machinery. This shift in emphasis appropriately reflected the diminishing activities of vaudeville and its related scenery requirements. His inherent mechanical aptitude and technical genius produced many stage rigging innovations with a basic thrust toward safety features.
