Happy History Monday! Featuring this image of the Studebaker Theater as it looked in 1898. It was a very different room, with its arched proscenium, four levels of private boxes along the side walls, Grecian inspired columns, and seating for over 1,500 patrons. But note the ceiling — the only element from this image that still exists in the Studebaker today! #studebakertheater #historictheater #historictheatre #chicagotheater #chicagotheatre #fineartsbuilding #fineartsbuildingchicago #chicagoarchitecture #chiarchitecture #chicagobuildings #theatrearchitecture #theaterarchitecture
