113 Photo of the Day 24 April 2011 -- Pickwick Theater

Back to my interest in building facades.  Yesterday was slightly overcast when I took these photos, perfect for this wonderful art deco building that is in my community. 


According to Wikipedia, the building and theater was "Designed by Roscoe Harold ZookWilliam F. McCaughey, and Alfonso Iannelli, the Pickwick opened in 1928 as a vaudeville stage and movie theatre. It is widely recognized for its marquee and 100-foot tower, which appeared in the opening credits of Siskel & Ebert at the Movies. The main auditorium, built to resemble an Aztec or Mayan temple, seats up to 1,400 people. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and continues to host films as well as live stage shows."

The horizontal image is a composite of five images while the vertical is composed of four. I used Panorama Maker 5. No other changes were made.
