This ink drawing shows a radio broadcasting studio at the corner of South Wabash Avenue and East 8th Street in Chicago, dated 1936. Its subject list also tags it under theaters and motion picture theaters, a reminder that in the 1930s radio studios were often built into or alongside entertainment venues. Chicago was one of the country's leading radio centers at the time, and designers had to plan rooms for live audiences, performers, and sound control at once. As a working architectural drawing, the sheet records how the space was laid out and built, not how it looked to the public.
