From the photo of the former Hartford Theatre, the building is recognizable as the house designed by architect Erwin G. Fredrick for Frank Walters and M.H. Scheidler, operators of the Orpheum and Jefferson theaters in Hartford City.
Mr. Fredrick’s rendering of the proposed theater was displayed in the “Just Off the Boards” feature of Boxoffice, August 17, 1946.
Both the Hartford and the Orpheum are listed in 1955 so I don’t think that they are the same theater. Seating given for the Orpheum that year was 501.
LM, do you know if this was at one time the known as the Orpheum?
This was the building in 1985.
