Few pictures on this board show a building's working plan as plainly as this 1922 ink drawing of the Plymouth theater on Eliot Street near Tremont Street in Boston. Architectural and engineering drawings like this one recorded a building's layout and construction, so they emphasize structure and arrangement over ornament. The record places it in the Library of Congress's holdings of Boston theater drawings from the 1920s, a period when the city's theater District was filling with both live playhouses and motion picture houses. Its subject headings cover both kinds of venue, which reflects how many theaters of the era were built or adapted to show films.
