MODS Note
  • "The Elsinore Theatre represents the fulfillment of a dream of George B . Guthrie of Portland to create the best and finest theatre in Salem. An attorney, art collector and art critic, he financed and conceived the entire project, even traveling to England to study Shakespearean theatre design . Guthrie chose the firm of Lawrence and Holford to design the theatre . He also chose to live in an Ellis Lawrence designed home in Portland. The theatre is significant as the most intact example of 1920's theatre design in Salem and the only example of a Gothic style theatre of this period within the state of Oregon. Fred . S . Allyn is attributed with the interior design and Ellis Lawrence is attributed with the design of the exterior." Lawrence Survey, Significance statement
