Chicago's Oriental Theatre in 1964


Corner of Dearborn and Randolph in 1964

A 1964 photo taken at the corner of Dearborn and Randolph looking east, posted on Flickr by Joe and Jeanette Archie. "The Prize," the movie playing at the Oriental Theatre, was released on Christmas Day in 1963.

The Oriental is still operating, but the movie theater on the right is long gone, as the entire block was demolished in 1989 and is now the site of the Block 37 office tower and shopping mall. This post from WTTW has a now-and-then view of the same corner.
