| Additional Information: | Art Moderne facade is the result of a later remodeling of this building which originally had two retail stores flanking the theatre entrance and whose appearance was probably identical to the remaining display window with transom windows above visible on the west facing facade. The present Art Modern style, curvilinear theatre entrance is in good original condition, with the curved sides flanking the entrance doors covered in enameled steel tiles. Designed by Perry Crosier (Minneapolis). |
