| | Theater Mural (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The mural, dominating the auditorium of the Alamo Theatre, features architectural drawings of seven cinematic venues from the 1890s onward, starting with a seaside casino and ending with an example of the multiplexes that prevail today. |
 | | Designed to resemble a chalk board scribbled with the sketches and notes of a visiting lecturer, the mural was designed by Main Street Design of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in conjunction with their work on Going to the Movies, Northeast Historic Film's traveling interpretive exhibition, currently on view in the Alamo Theatre lobby. |
 | | The mural dominates the auditorium through its size, vigor, and the fact that, until the movie or performance starts, there's nothing much else to look at. |
