Lena Horne Theatre Archival Print
This 8"x10" giclee print on archival paper features an original drawing of the historic Lena Horne (formerly Brooks Atkinson) Theatre on Broadway, capturing the distinctive Spanish Revivial exterior designed by Herbery J Krapp in 1925.
Located on West 47th Street, the Lena Horne is one of several theaters built for the Chanin Brothers during the 1920s. Originally named for actor Richard Mansfield, the name was changed to honor theater critic Brooks Atkinson in 1960, and again in 2022 to salute Broadway actor and activist Lena Horne, becoming the first Broadway house named for an African American. Since 2021, the Horne has been home to Six the Musical.
Part of Jennifer Ackerman's ongoing project to document all 41 Broadway theatres, this archival print offers a unique glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of New York’s theatrical landmark. Perfect for collectors and theatre enthusiasts, it reflects her dedication to preserving Broadway’s legacy through detailed artistic documentation.
