The architecture, the lighting effect, equipment and building arrangement has complete harmony in every detail. In addition to the theater department the structure includes three private business offices and like the theater is air conditioned and has effective lighting equipment. These offices will be occupied by Addis’ Beauty Shop, Emmett Sneed [sic] Real Estate and the Elliott and Waldron Abstract Co." (New Buildings Near Completion. June 27, 1946.
