Pickwick Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in Park Ridge, Illinois
The Pickwick Theatre stands with a prominent 100-foot tower and features an auditorium designed to reflect Aztec and Mayan architectural elements.
Architect R. Harold Zook designed this theater which opened in 1928 and received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The theater's name comes from Charles Dickens' character Samuel Pickwick, selected by Park Ridge's mayor William H. Malone I.
The venue maintains multiple screening rooms, including a 39-seat theater on the second floor and three additional screens behind the main auditorium.
The 2012 renovation project invested 1.2 million dollars to update the building while preserving its historical characteristics.
