Description Colorized photo from 1918Original Title: Crandall's TheaterPhotographer: The National Photo CoLocation: 9th and E streets NW, Washington DCThis is the Joy Theater, owned by Harry Crandall, and as such it was often known as Crandall's Theater. It was opened in 1913, had 450 seats. The building used to sell haberdashery, but it was remodeled to have a slanted cement floor. Each night he would flood the floor with water and it would exit out the bottom, all to keep it sanitary. The theater lasted till 1924, where it was turned back into retail space.Next door, there were soda shops and a dentist on the top floor. I'm guessing he had a lot of business. Next to that is the Garden Theater, it was acquired in 1913, later on renovated in 1918, and in 1922, Crandall took over that theater too and renamed it the Central Theatre.Over the years, floors were removed, and the buildings were stripped of their beauty, by the end of their life they became XXX movies houses before closing down in the 1980s, and then both torn down. In fact the only building that exists today is that white one in the back, the Landsburgh dept store.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
