| Description |
Views depict the front facade and interior illuminated gardens of Kiralfy's Alhambra Palace built on Broad Street below Locust
Street in 1876 after designs by Frank H. Loenholdt for Hungarian-born brothers Bolossy and Imre Kiralfy. Shows Moorish-influenced
architecture, garden sculptures, lights, balconies, and rock formations. The building was purchased by the Broad Street Theatre
in 1877. Intended to be a temporary space for musical and dance performances during the Centennial Exhibition, it thrived
long after its 100th anniversary, until 1937 when it was demolished for a parking lot.
