April 1, 1928 Chicago Tribune Article & Artist Rendering

Here is the new Mont Clare moving picture theater, now under construction at the southeast corner of Grand and Neva avenues. William P. Whitney is architect. Besides a 1,100 seat movie auditorium there will be seven stores and twenty-nine apartments. Now for a few words of comfort for those Chicagoans who think that a water tank on a roof is a work of art, especially when said tank is of the common variety, un-adorned by any outer covering. A careful look at the above will reveal that the Mont Clare is to have its water tank located so that it can be easily seen by all members of the Water Tank Lovers' League of America. Walter Simpson drew this picture.
