Randolph Theatre

Architects: Bruce Price David Supowitz
Style: French Renaissance

The Randolph Theatre took its French Renaissance styling from architects Bruce Price and David Supowitz, who gave the building a formal, ornamented street facade in the historicist vocabulary theatres of the era used to sell an evening out as an occasion.

the style

Price and Supowitz worked in a French Renaissance idiom, dressing the theatre in a grand historicist facade rather than a plainer commercial front.

the architect

The Randolph Theatre is credited to two architects, Bruce Price and David Supowitz, though the surviving record does not detail how their roles divided.
