Shreveport, LA (Caddo Parish)

The Strand Theatre is a combination movie, legitimate theatre and office building of four to five stories designed by New Orleans architect Emile Weil. The original blueprints and specifications (available) are dated September 17, 1923. Construction began soon afterward, taking eighteen months to complete. The grand opening was on July 3, 1925.

Although the architectural style of the Strand Theatre cannot be identified by any particular name other than "Eclectic," is does fit a tradition epitomized by the famous Roxy Theatre in New York City. (1)
