Among the Lyric theater drawings, this ink-on-paper sheet records a building on Market Street near Broad Street, in the commercial heart of Newark, New Jersey. Dated 1937, it belongs to the architecture and engineering drawings held by the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. In the 1930s, Newark's downtown was dense with movie houses and vaudeville stages, and drawings like this one document how such theaters were laid out and detailed during a decade when the medium was changing rapidly. Its subject tags place it among the city's theaters of the 1930s, which makes it useful for anyone studying how Newark's entertainment district took shape.
