This ink drawing shows the Ohio theater on State Street, directly across from the Ohio State Capitol in Columbus. Its record dates it to 1934, six years after the theater opened in 1928 as one of the city's grand movie palaces. The building's placement facing the seat of state government made it a prominent part of downtown life. The Library of Congress catalogs the sheet among its architectural and engineering drawings, so it documents the building's design in ink on paper rather than showing a view of the street.
