The Selwyn Theatre built for Archie and
Edgar Selwyn by
George Keister c. 1918 at 227 West 42nd Street in
New York City. The theatre eventually fell into disrepair and was taken by the City and State in 1990. In 1997 the Roundabout Theatre Company began a renovation and the updated theatre was reopened as the American Airlines Theatre in 2000. Click

One looks at the sweep of that balcony, the vaulted ceiling, the murals, the proscenium arch, and realizes it's true: They just don't build 'em like that any more.
