A single building on Main Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont, housed both the town hall and the opera house, so this 1931 ink drawing records a civic and entertainment space under one roof. Small New England towns often combined these functions, with municipal offices sharing space with a stage and auditorium used for plays, concerts, and, by the 1930s, motion pictures. The drawing is an architectural record rather than a photograph, and its linework shows how the building was planned and laid out. It is held in the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division among its architectural and engineering drawings.
