This ink drawing pairs two Camden cinemas on the same stretch of Broadway: the Towers theater, at Broadway and Pine Street, and the Broadway theater nearby. Dated 1939, it comes from a Library of Congress collection of architectural and engineering drawings and records how the two houses were planned during the years when movies drew large crowds to neighborhood theaters. Drawings like this show the layout, facades, and construction details that architects and owners used to build or alter such buildings, which makes them useful to anyone studying how movie houses were designed in that period.
