York Theatre Marquee, Restored Gem In Elmhurst Il. Postcard

York Theatre Marquee, Restored Gem In Elmhurst Il. http://www.classiccinemas.com/Content.aspx?page=20 The York Theatre in downtown Elmhurst was built in 1924 opening on Labour Day of that year. It was designed by noted theatre architect Elmer Behrns and featuring a Spanish motif. In 1938 the theatre underwent a major remodeling switching to it’s current art deco look. The sign is not the original but still looks mighty nice. On the second floor you will find the museum and archives of the Theatre Historical Society of America. The York is now part of a local chain called Classic Cinema’s. You can find out more about them and the York by following the link above. MindsiMedia is my Chicago based Internet broadcasting service that has been up since 2007. We began as a web site to house some of my neon sign photographs. I think that the neon sign is one of mankind’s most beautiful creations. We have more neon videos and photos for your viewing enjoyment. On ChiTownView "The Chicago Neon Tour" playlist can be found here. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL79FB2EA9F6A7E993&feature=plcp We also have a gallery of neon photography at this link.. http://www.mindsimedia.info/Neon/index.htm And we have lots of neon photos posted on our Flickr photostream. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photonoir/ Produced for ChiTownView by MindsiMedia.
