The interior of the Main Auditorium sometime around the 1920s or 1930s. Note the windows on the sides. These were removed in 1993. The Main Auditorium originally had more than 2500 opera chairs, and was conceived as holding roughly 3000 persons. These seats were removed in 1989 in order to use the Auditorium as a lecture hall.
The organ console, in the lower left corner of the photograph, is believed to be the original 1924 console. The organ received a new console in 1949.
