Add a photo for this theater!

This Streamline-style movie house opened in 1945 in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, and was designed by John Eberson with his son, Drew. After it closed as a movie theater in 1968, it was used in the 70s as a concert venue and later a disco, but has been closed for years.
