Few pictures on this board show one building in two states, but this ink drawing pairs the Newark theater with its successor, the Newark Paramount, on Market Street near Broad Street. Architectural drawings like this typically recorded a remodeling, so the "before" and "after" views let you compare the original design with the 1934 renovation. Around that time, many older downtown houses were rebuilt for motion pictures, and the Paramount name tied this one to a national theater chain. The sheet documents that shift in Newark's downtown entertainment district.
