Waldron's Casino theater stood on Hanover Street near Scollay Square, the dense entertainment district in central Boston, and this 1922 ink drawing records the building as an architectural plan rather than a view of its audiences or performances. The library's catalog tags it with both theater and motion picture theater subjects, a sign of how many Boston houses in the 1920s offered live shows alongside film. Scollay Square was a crowded mix of theaters, restaurants, and shops until the area was cleared in the 1960s to make way for Government Center, so drawings like this one now serve as a record of a neighborhood that no longer exists.
