The Lyric theater stood at the corner of North Sixth and Court Streets in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and this ink drawing from 1926 records its design in the planning stage. Working drawings like this one guided builders on layout and construction, so they often preserve details of the facade and interior that photographs of the period miss. The subject headings classify the building as both a theater and a motion picture house, which reflects how many venues of the 1920s hosted live performance and film under one roof as movies grew in popularity.
