The St. James theater stood on Cookman Avenue near the Asbury Park boardwalk, and this ink drawing from 1931 records the building as an architectural design rather than a snapshot of its street life. Architectural and engineering drawings like this one were produced to document a building's plans and construction, so the image shows the theater's form and layout as its designers intended them. The subject headings place it among the motion picture houses of Asbury Park during the 1930s, when the seaside resort was a busy destination for summer crowds. Such drawings are worth a closer look for the way they reveal the structural choices behind a building that most visitors experienced only from the outside.
