The theater is located in the Chilton Building built by architect/builder William R. Chilton. The Chilton Apartments were located on the second floor of the building and were “the latest designs in modern efficiency apartments, elaborately decorated and equipped with electric refrigerators.” There were a total of nine apartments upstairs, located off a central hallway. Eight of the apartments were small efficiencies with one being larger and better appointed. The larger apartment was likely for building personnel, possible the owner. In the kitchens, several of the apartments retain their historical efficiency stove/refrigerator/cabinet/sink combinations. Each apartment has a small opening with a wood door from the hallway into the kitchen area, possibly used for milk delivery. |
