This ink drawing shows the Warner theater on the corner of West Wisconsin Avenue and North 3rd Street in Milwaukee, set directly across from the Majestic theater, a pairing that tells you how densely the city's downtown entertainment district was packed in the early 1930s. Dated 1933, it belongs to the Library of Congress's architectural and engineering drawings holdings, where such plans documented buildings for design study and record-keeping. Movie palaces of this period were built to draw crowds with bold facades, marquees and lobbies, so the drawing offers a useful look at how architects planned street-facing theaters during the Depression years.
