Hoyt's theater stood on Washington Street directly opposite the post office in South Norwalk, Connecticut, and this 1932 ink drawing preserves its design as an architect or engineer laid it out. Many small-town movie houses of the early 1930s were built or remodeled to show sound pictures, so the drawing offers a useful look at how a neighborhood theater was planned in that period. Its line work and labeling are worth examining for details of the building's layout and construction.
