World Theater

-A A +A
1923, William Jay Brown. 314 2nd Ave. S.E.
  • World Theater (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)

A theater building here passes as an urban Italian palazzo. A great semi-circular window above the marquee is played off against a suggestion of rustication. Above, an attic story is terminated by a bracketed shed roof. The present brow-shaped marquee, as well as the shop fronts to each side, are of a later date.
