Photographs thoroughly detail construction from groundbreaking to completion: concrete placement steel erection masonry interior construction placement of the rooftop A/C unit signage projector and speaker installation workers and laborers as well as finished shots of the theater's interior and exterior. All black and white construction images dated beginning 9/1/66 and ending 1/23/67. The six color photos are undated though were likely captured on or around the theater's opening day to showcase the finished work. A full page color ad from January 26 1967 issue of the JACKSONVILLE JOURNAL is laid-in. The Plaza's amenities including ample parking "1000 FREE PARKING SPACES" according to the ad rocking chair seats and easy access to expressways marked a sea change in options for the moviegoing public - a move that culminates in our modern multiplexes.

190320404Boston: Rogers & Manson. Good. 1903-1904. Vols. 12-13. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket solid binding but much external wear including fraying at several corners spotting on front cover etc.; internally quite clean and firmly bound with the exception of one loose page. B&W photographs plates diagrams plans etc. Bound volume of 24 monthly issues of this large-format architectural trade periodical approx. 13" x 10-1/2" containing about 550 pages altogether "devoted to the interests of architecture in materials of clay." The publication contains a wealth of information regarding architectural and construction practices of the period primarily in the U.S. although there are a number of features focusing on British architecture and occasional coverage of notable structures in Spain Germany and elsewhere. Designs are presented and discussed for nearly every type of private and public building: single-family homes hotels department stores train stations apartment houses office buildlings clubhouses hospitals churches including Westminster Cathedral in London etc. Many topics are treated in-depth in multi-part articles: "The Planning of Apartment Houses"; "The Business Side of an Architect's Office"; "Hospital Planning" there's a LOT about hospitals; "Interesting Brick and Terra-Cotta Architecture in St. Louis"; "Brickwork on the Pacific Slope" mostly dealing with San Francisco -- before the 1906 earthquake of course; etc. An article on "Brick Architecture in and about Chicago" in the September 1903 issue features photos of several Frank Lloyd Wright houses. As one might imagine there is a great deal of attention paid to "fireproof" construction including several articles of the "lessons learned" variety in the wake of various notable urban fires e.g. the Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago in December 1903. Especially notable in this regard is an extensive 52-page report on the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904 issued as a special supplement to the March 1904 issue; it describes and discusses the fire's causes and effects in great detail and is illustrated with numerous "aftermath" photos of various buildings. This is considered the third most destructive urban fire in American history surpassed only by Chicago's 1871 blaze and the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. Indexes to both volumes are bound in at the front. . Rogers & Manson hardcover books
