the old Orpheum theater

 

One day in Kansas, we missed a turn and ended up driving through downtown Wichita. At a red light, I quickly snapped a photo of the old Orpheum theater to sketch from later. My brother and I saw many matinee movies either here or the Miller, also in the downtown area.

Just beyond the building is what I thought was a castle when I was growing up: the Wichita Masonic Lodge. Couldn’t get a photo of it, though.

(I just noticed that I forgot to paint the roof. Just imagine those ceramic tiles are undersea green!)
