Another View of the Pantheon...

It's been brought to our attention that there aren't many photos of the Pantheon Theatre in existence (see illustration of front that we posted earlier today). The Library of Congress has a great one that's worth sharing; the perspective is Sheridan, looking north from Wilson. The theatre is on the left.

    What is the original URL to that photo on LOC?

    Charles--Clicking on the image takes you to where it is stored on the LOC site. I'm not sure what the URL for the full page is; I had downloaded it years ago from the digital archives.

    Thanks for the reply Joanne. I was thinking it would be nice to get a copy of the original from the LOC so we could have a much higher resolution copy, but I can't seem to find it on the LOC site at all - that's why I was wondering if you still had the URL.

    Charles,

    I did some poking around. It looks like they've changed the search abilities at the LOC, and the Chicago Daily News items aren't coming up in the general photos search. I had to go to that archive directly, and found it here:

    The directory itself is here:
