For a detailed history and many photographs of Chicago's landmark Uptown Theatre, see the website The Uptown Theatre, maintained by the advocacy group Friends of the Uptown. We will not attempt to paraphrase the great information that those folks have assembled, although we add our voices to theirs in calling for the restoration of this long-vacant gem, designed by the renowned brothers George and C.L. Rapp (who designed Chicago's famous Chicago Theater as well as St. Louis's Ambassador Theatre Building). Apparently the new onwers are interested in restoring the Uptown.
