Loew's Grand Theatre

Here's another photo of the fire-ravaged Loew's Grand Theatre. It was originally constructed in 1893 by Laurent deGive to serve as a space that combined offices, residences, and an opera house. In 1920, it was purchased by the Loew's organization and renovated into a single-screen movie theatre. The theatre had a capacity of 2,088 - amazingly spacious by contemporary standards.
