Few records in this gallery capture a building in its planning stage the way this ink drawing does. It shows Read's Trent theater, later known as Read's theater and then the RKO Lincoln, on North Warren Street near State Street in Trenton, New Jersey. The drawing is catalogued within the Historic American Buildings-style Architectural and Engineering collection of the Library of Congress, with a 1934 date. Trenton's downtown movie houses of the 1930s were built to draw crowds from the city and surrounding towns, and detailed plans like this one record how such theaters were laid out for audiences and projection equipment alike.
