Anyone hear of Leslie G. Larkin? If so, what can you tell me about him?
Tonight going through the old Lincoln Park newspapers on microfiche at the Allen Park Library I can across an article in The Melvindale News June 18, 1936 paper talking about Lincoln Park's Park Theatre. It listed Leslie G. Larkin, formerly associated with C. Howard Crane to be the architect of the upcoming renovation. Its the renovaton that still exists on the exterior. For years I've been seeking this answer as to the architect to the 1936 facade renovation! The June 19, 1936 The Lincoln Parker [[William Mellus' paper) talked about the history of the theater and its developer Maurice Levy and stated that it was built "under supervision of Leslie G. Larkin, associated with C. Howard Crane, prominient theater architect." Googling Mr. Larkin's name I only see that he was one of the founders of the local CSI [[Construction Specifications Institute) chapter.
