atmos commented about Plaza Theatre on Apr 9, 2006 at 2:52 am

Interesting to read on the theatre website that construction began in 1930 but the depression delayed the completion of the building until 1934.It opened 23 August and was designed by local architect,Dixon Rapp.I wonder if he is related to George and Cornelius.
