This ink drawing shows the Garrick theater on Griswold Street near Michigan Avenue in downtown Detroit, dated 1922 in its record. Its subjects are listed as both theaters and motion picture theaters, which reflects how the building was used in a decade when movies were rapidly replacing live stage shows in American cities. Detroit's downtown was growing fast during these years, and new theaters were often built as part of that expansion. Architectural drawings like this one were working documents, so they show the planned layout and construction details rather than the finished building's appearance.
