The river side (back side of this building) is a huge and imposing art deco structure that looks like a chair and was once called Insull's Throne or Insull's Folly - depending on whether or not you thought that Samuel Insull had made a wise choice by building a huge 45 story structure at the onset of the Great Depression.

Opened in 1941, the Civic Detroit Theater was an Art Moderne style first-run house, which could seat around 1,455, all on a single floor. It was also known at various times as the Detroit Civic Theatre.

The lines and light and shade made this a very interesting shot to compose.

I only shot two photos in downtown Oakland on my way to Alameda Island. I'd actually taken a wrong turn and vowed to make an attempt to get back later in the afternoon. Sadly, I couldn't make the time.
