Uptown Theatre, Movie palace in Uptown, Chicago, US.
The Uptown Theatre contains 4,381 seats within its 46,000 square feet space, featuring Spanish Revival architecture and a six-story grand lobby.
The theater opened in August 1925 with a parade of 200 floats, drawing 12,000 people to experience the most expensive Wurlitzer organ installation.
From 1974 to 1981, the venue hosted performances by Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead, Prince, Genesis, and other major musical acts.
The building requires extensive repairs estimated at 75 million dollars before it can reopen as an entertainment venue in Chicago's music district.
The theater incorporated a perfuming system under the seats and displayed ceiling lights that simulated twinkling stars and floating clouds.
