Community House for Hartford
Another illustration that merchants and other business men realize that a modem family-type moving picture theatre is essential in the retention and stimulation of trade in their particular commimity or section of a city is noted in the activity of the Park Street Investment Company of Hartford, Conn., w^hich has practically completed plans for the theatre and business block it is to build at Park and Broad Streets, the very heart of one of the most rapidly growing business sections of the city. The plans, drawn by Architect E. T. Wiley of Hartford, are complete and will be sent out
for bids within the next week. If the response is satisfactorily arranged it is the intention of the company to immediately let the contract and have work started so as to have the structure roofed in before very cold weather sets in. Construction will be continued during the winter months and plans are to have the theatre ready for business at the opening of the next season.
The building will be three stories in height, with one store on Broad street and two on Park street, in addition to the theatre entrance. The second story will be devoted entirely to offices and there will be a large dance hall and auditorium on the third floor. The total cost of the undertaking, including the prop
erty, will be in the neighborhood of $300,000. The Park Street Investment Company, financing the project, is composed of leading merchants in that particular neighborhood and prominent business men of the city. It is capitalized for $250,000 and the first issue of $150,000 of the stock is almost entirely sold. The officers of the company are: A. M. Schuman, president; Joseph Dolgin, vice-president; Loomis A. Newton, treasurer; J. D. Castonguay, secretary; Joseph Glassman^ assistant secretary; directors, the above officers and L. S. Goldschmidt, Joseph S. Silver, Francis P. Rohrmayer, Samuel HoflFenberg and Thomas F. Burke. — Agard.
