- The 2605 location's original tech booth and ticket office were tight quarters. You can still see remnants of these original digs in the theatre's current 'broom closet.'

- The 2605 Hennepin space houses the building's original shop elevator, a huge mechanical monstrosity that has since been converted into one of the theatre's mini stages.

The building had at one time a large garage door leading into the back alley. From alley view today, the door has been covered, but the original garage door remains as one of the walls back stage.

- Some of the theatre's first risers were built to last by alum Michael Gellman. Gellman built the risers in the late 1960s and most of them remain today.

- In line with Dudley's circus roots and the 'improvisational' history of the BNW, the 2605 space has several creative and original designs, including the 'removable back wall.' Hanging mid way through the house are 18 wooden panels. These panels hang from a bar near the ceiling and can be removed when more seats are needed for larger audiences. When the panels are hanging, they help maintain the theatre's intimate feel.

(Hollywood screenwriter, producer; Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Police Academy, Mr. Magoo) -- Proft was in the original crew that moved with Dudley to the 2605 Hennepin space in 1965. He worked on and off at the 2605 space until he left for Hollywood in 1972. Proft holds the credit for designing / building the trademark 'swinging stage doors' for 2605 Hennepin which remained on that stage through 1998. Those original swinging doors were remounted for the January 2002 homecoming.

There have been numerous weddings, funerals (and probably conceptions) in the 2605 Hennepin Avenue space. In addition, many of the BNW's 'married' alumni met at the 2605 space (including current music director Peter Guertin and his wife actress Michelle Cassioppi, as well as 1990's alums Rick Logan and Ahna Brandvik, and early actor/writers Faith and Dan Sullivan). Current owners Jenni Lilledahl and John Sweeney had a wedding party / reception at the 2605 space (in 1998), as did Faith and Dan Sullivan (in 1965). In 1999, Dudley Riggs memorialized his brother at 2605, after he passed away of a long-term illness.
