Mount Vernon Theatre, 918 Ninth St NorthweSt Washington, District of Columbia, DC
The Mount Vernon Theatre, a well designed if short-lived example of the 5c theatre or "Nickelodeon," is a rare survivor of that first building type, once common across the nation, specifically designed for showing moving pictures. The "Nickelodeon" trademark, an elaborate arched facade studded with bare unshielded light bulbs, was well displayed here.
