Rather than a view of the street, this 1928 ink drawing shows the Shubert Great Northern theater and Majestic Hotel as an architectural design for the corner of Quincy and North Dearborn streets in Chicago. Pairing a playhouse with a hotel under one roof was a practical arrangement in the 1920s, when theater companies and hotel owners often shared a downtown property and its foot traffic. The sheet belongs to the Library of Congress's architecture and engineering holdings, where drawings like this record how a building was meant to be laid out, and it offers a precise look at the Loop's theater expansion during that decade.
