This ink drawing documents the Prospect theater on Prospect Avenue near East 9th Street in Cleveland, a building the record identifies by its street location rather than by an architect's name. It belongs to the Library of Congress's Architecture, Design and Engineering drawings, a group of working plans and elevations that show how buildings were conceived and presented. The 1920s were a period of rapid theater construction across American cities, when motion picture houses were being added to downtown streets and neighborhood commercial corridors alike. Cleveland's theaters from this decade are documented in the collection as a group, so this sheet offers a view of how a single house on a busy street was designed to draw a crowd.
