Drawn in ink in 1929, this record documents the Gayety theater on East Baltimore Street near Holiday Street in Baltimore, Maryland. It belongs to a group of architectural and engineering drawings of Baltimore theaters from the 1920s, a decade when many houses were remodeled or newly built as motion pictures spread, with sound films arriving after 1927. Such drawings show how a building was arranged for its audiences at the time, which makes them useful to anyone studying the city's entertainment venues.
