EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Mount Vernon Theatre, located on Ninth Street Northwest in Washington, D. C. The image, taken on November 30th, 1969 by an anonymous American photographer from the 20th century, showcases the architectural beauty of this historic cinema. Built in 1910 as a Nickelodeon theatre, this iconic establishment played a significant role in early cinema history. Its neo-classical design features an impressive arch and thermal windows that add to its elegant charm. The lunette above the entrance adds a touch of sophistication to the facade. The photo was taken as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey, highlighting its historical significance. It transports us back to a time when silent films were projected onto screens within these walls. This dilapidated yet enchanting building witnessed countless moments of entertainment for audiences seeking escape through moving pictures. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of America's rich cinematic heritage and how it has shaped our cultural landscape. This photograph is not just about architecture; it represents an era when silent movies dominated theaters across the United States. Now preserved in a private collection and out of copyright restrictions, this image serves as both a nostalgic reminder and testament to our enduring fascination with early film history.
