Rather than a street view, this 1932 ink drawing presents the Walnut Street theater, on Walnut Street near East 7th Street in Cincinnati, as an architectural drawing prepared for the building itself. The 1930s were a time when Cincinnati's downtown houses were weighing live stage shows against the growing popularity of motion pictures, and the record lists the theater under both categories. Drawings like this one, held by the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, record a building's design at a specific moment, which makes them useful to historians of city entertainment districts and of how theaters adapted to film.
