This ink drawing shows the Orpheum theater at Five Corners, a busy commercial crossroads in Jersey City, New Jersey. Its 1919 date places it at the height of the period when movie palaces and vaudeville houses were replacing older storefront shows and opera houses across American cities. Architectural drawings like this one record a building's plans and design details, so they show how a theater was laid out for crowds, stage, and screen. The Library of Congress holds it among its architecture and engineering drawings, which makes it a useful record of how Jersey City's entertainment district was built during the 1910s.
