The Lawndale Theatre was built in Chicago, United States, in 1927. The Lawndale theatre is a bone-white mammoth structure on Roosevelt Road in Chicago. The Theatre had a beautiful church like a classically embellished façade. The interiors were a baroque style assortment of heavily ornamented plaster. World War-II brought about a demographic change in the neighbourhood resulting in changes in ownership.
Amazing Fact: After a gang leader was shot dead in the theatre, it closed down in 1961 and reopened as a church for the next 40 years, in 1964.
