Beacon Theatre (Boston)
Multi tool use
The Beacon Theatre was a cinema on Tremont Street in Boston, Massachusetts built in 1910 and closed in 1948.[1] Jacob Lourie established it.[2] Architect Clarence Blackall designed the building, with its 500-seat auditorium[2] which a contemporary critic described as "showy."[3] It had a staff of 26 in 1910.[4] In 1948 the "refurbished" building became the Beacon Hill Theater.[2][5] The building existed until 1970.
