Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Greenwall Theater, New Orleans, via New Orleans Times-Democrat, December 22, 1903, page 3.

Located at downtown lake corner of Dauphine and Iberville (formerly Custom House Street), French Quarter, New Orleans.

Theater was built in 1903, named after Henry Greenwall who owned the building until his death in 1913. This view shows shortly after completion. In 1909 it was renamed the American Music Hall, showing small and medium time vaudeville acts booked by William Morris out of New York City, along with short films. It was managed locally by W. T. Grover. The name lasted into 1911. (name in late 1910s?) In 1917 it became the Palace Theater, and later for decades was a movie theater for segregated African-American audiences. Demolished 1962.
