About
The building, designed by the firm of Adler and Sullivan, was originally named the Schiller Theatre after Friedrich Schiller, the German playwright; it was then briefly known as the Dearborn Theatre (from 1898-1903); and finally, in 1903 it was renamed the Garrick Theatre. The Garrick Theatre was destroyed in 1961.
