Ambassador Theater, Historic theater in Adams Morgan, Washington, D.C., United States
The Ambassador Theater featured a three-story limestone and red brick facade in Georgian Revival style with a seating capacity of 1,700 people.
Originally constructed as the Knickerbocker Theatre in 1915, the building experienced a catastrophic roof collapse in 1922 that resulted in 98 fatalities.
During the 1960s, the theater transformed into a concert venue where notable artists like The Jimi Hendrix Experience performed for Washington audiences.
The theater operated at 2454 18th Street and Columbia Road until 1969, when it was demolished and replaced by a banking facility.
The venue categorized its attendees into three groups: Petal for children under 15, Flower Children aged 15-30, and Old Flowers for those over 30.
