Few buildings on the Paterson, New Jersey, street grid carry two names at once: this 1919 ink drawing marks the site on Van Houten Street near Washington Street as both the Lyceum theater and Apollo Hall. Paterson was a major silk-manufacturing city in the early twentieth century, and its theaters drew crowds from its dense working-class neighborhoods. The subject tags also identify the building as a motion picture house, reflecting how many local theaters of the 1910s added film to their live programs. Architectural drawings like this one, held by the Library of Congress, record the layout and construction details that help researchers trace how such buildings were designed and used.
