Dated April 17, 1926, this exterior view captures the University of Louisville Theater, a university building rather than one of the city's commercial houses. The record offers little description of the facade, so the photograph itself is the best source for details like entrance design, signage, and any posters advertising productions. Campus theaters of the period often served students and the wider public alike, which makes exterior views like this useful for seeing how such buildings presented themselves to passersby in 1920s Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky.
