Court Square Theater
Submitted by Ralph Slate on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 01:42.
This is a photo of the Court Square Theater before its expansion. Notice that there are no storefronts on the right side. The building was originally built in 1892, designed by F.S. Newman [Frederick Newman].
Compare to this photo from the Library of Congress; you will see that the original building was symmetrical design, but the addition was designed to be symmetrical with the rightmost bank of the original building, destroying the overall symmetry of the entire building. A sixth floor was also added during this expansion, which took place in 1900.

I am trying to get a photo of the front and interior of the old Court Square Theatre where I worked as the Assistant. Manager from August, 1948 until December, 1949. So far, after a LONG tme searching, I find only the two photos on this internet page. H-E-L-P !! Can anyone help me? Thanks! Chuck Burnes
Program for November 3 and 4, 1899
Would like to donate a copy of a program for Gilmore's Court Square Theater for November 4 and 5, 1899 to historical society or the like. Would anyone be interested? Where should it be sent and to whom?
