1925 Souvenir Program for the Hippodrome, the largest theater in the world.

We came upon the history of the Hippodrome Theater by chance. We were on a photography job for a client at 1120 Avenue of the Americas and noticed a large-format photo of an old theater in the lobby. We learned from the building's owner, Edison Properties, that remnants of the theater survived. Intrigued, we began to investigate the history of the site. 🐘 To find out what we discovered behind the glass facade of this modern building 🏢 at 1120 in Midtown, please read the article we wrote for Gothamist @gothamist at: http://gothamist.com/2016/08/10/hippodrome_theater_history.php
