Today’s mystery is of a movie theater, a photograph that could be about anywhere in this country. Alas, movie theatres in many cities are closed these days, as other entertainment methods have come onto the scene, including the proliferation of streaming services through the Internet. Can you pinpoint the location of this old-time theatre? Send your ideas to ebrack2@gmail.com. And remember to tell us where you live.
Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill wasn’t fooled by the recent Mystery Photo:: “The first clue that this is NOT the Oval Office in the White House is that it’s on the ground floor, as you can determine from looking out the windows. However, it’s a replica of the Carter-era Oval Office in the Jimmy Carter Library and Presidential Museum in Atlanta.”
Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.: “This is a full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it appeared during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. The replica is a permanent exhibit at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. It is designed to be historically accurate, including the specific furnishings and decor from the late 1970s.”
Unfortunately, who sent this photo to the Forum has been lost.
Others recognizing the placement of this oval office included Gloria James, Lawrenceville; Joseph Hopkins, Lawrenceville; Chuck Miller, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Virginia Klaer, Duluth; Holly Moore, Suwanee; Sarah L. Davis, Lawrenceville; Cindy Hall, Canton; and Stewart Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala.
