The marquee, vertical sign, entrance and the alley beside it are closely copied for the Ambrose Theatre, a key mission location.
History in brief
Opened in 1921 as a lavish movie palace, the theatre was nearly demolished in the 1980s before being restored. Its CHICAGO sign is one of the city’s best-known images.
