Uptown Theater Sign at Dusk, Minneapolis

Uptown Theater sign lit at dusk in Minneapolis.
The illuminated Uptown Theater sign stands tall on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis at dusk. Opened in 1926, the Uptown Theater was designed by Chicago architect William L. Pereira and is known for its opulent Spanish Revival architecture. It originally served as a movie palace and later transitioned to hosting live performances and events. The theater's prominent marquee and vertical sign have long been a landmark in the Uptown neighborhood.
