The Bijou theater, formerly the Bayonne theater, stood at the corner of Broadway and East 23rd Street in Bayonne, New Jersey, a port city across the harbor from Staten Island. This ink drawing from 1939 belongs to the Library of Congress's architectural and engineering drawings collection, which preserves plans of buildings that might otherwise be lost. Its subject reflects the period, when movie houses were a central part of neighborhood life in cities like Bayonne. The drawing records the building as a working piece of local architecture, offering a view of how a 1930s picture house was designed and laid out.
