The Garden theater stood on Market Street near Clark Street in Paterson, New Jersey, and this ink drawing records the building as it appeared around 1919. The record places it among the Library of Congress's architectural and engineering drawings, a body of material that documents the design and construction of buildings across the country. Paterson was a major industrial city, and its theaters, including motion picture houses that were proliferating in the 1910s, served a dense urban audience. Drawings like this one show how the building was planned on paper, offering a view of its front and layout that photographs of the period often could not capture.
