Capitol Theater in Salem, Oregon with "Capitol Dome"over the marquee
COLLECTION
Marion County Historical Society
DESCRIPTION
A picture of the Capitol Theater, 1926-27, with the "Capitol Dome" over the marquee is shown. The Oregon Building is at the far right. Other businesses are located on either side of the theater entrance on the street. The marquee covers the entrances of all those businesses. The front part of the marquee seems to be held up by chains attached to the side of the building above the marquee. The dome looks like the dome on the Capitol in Washington, D.C. People are on the sidewalk in front of some of the businesses. A sign over a storefront announcing the opening of Gunnell & Robb photo studio is just visible.
