Unlike the photographs of Wilmington's streets and storefronts on this board, this is an ink drawing of the Garrick theater on Market Street near 9th Street, catalogued as a 1929 architectural and engineering drawing. It records the building as a set of design lines rather than as a view of the finished facade, which makes it useful for seeing how the structure was planned. The late 1920s were a busy period for theaters across American cities, as owners built new houses and remodeled older ones to meet growing audiences for motion pictures, and the arrival of synchronized sound film in those same years pushed many of them to upgrade. The Library of Congress keeps drawings like this one among its Prints and Photographs holdings.
