Court Square Theater

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.
