Imperial Theatre ARCHITECT: Herbert J. Krapp DATE: 1923 STYLE: Adamesque

The Imperial Theater Interior is an excellent example of the elegant Adamesque style. Its significant architectural features include floral plasterwork bands, flat pilasters with stylized capitals, and Adarnesque friezes including figures holding tragic and comic theatrical masks at the boxes.
