| The
State-Lake Theater opened in 1919, initially as a premiere vaudeville
theater, and soon became an important link in the RKO chain of movie
houses. The building occupies the southwest corner of State and Lake
Streets and was designed by the venerable theater architectural firm of
Rapp and Rapp. A few years later, Rapp and Rapp also designed the
Chicago Theater, located
across State Street from the State-Lake.
In the mid-1980s, the building was converted into a television studio for WLS, the Chicago outlet of the American Broadcasting Company. |
