Notes
  • Significance: The Earle Theatre (Warner Theater) and Office Building, designed by C. Howard Crane, a nationally-noted theater architect, has long been recognized as an important example of movie palace architecture. The theater also represents the culminating efforts of local movie exhibitors, Aaron and Julian Brylawski. These two Washingtonians were closely associated with the evolution of motion pictures and the film industry in the national capitol. Their participation as local entrepreneurs in the development of this business is significant for it was during this time that the large film companies began to monopolize the industry with growing chains of theaters. The combined office/theater strategy used in the Earle is an early and noted example of mixed-use planning which provides insight into the commercial and social history of Washington from the 1920s onward. Since its opening in 1924, the theater has taken part in the major trends in American entertainment and has been associated with many famous personalities. In its siting and design, the Earle (Warner) Theatre and Office Building responds to and strengthens the original L'Enfant Plan with its unique relationship between the commercial grid system and monumental elements such as Pennsylvania Avenue. The Earle is recognized as being the last of the grand movie palaces remaining in downtown Washington where a thriving entertainment district once existed.
