Description
This is a photograph taken in Brighton, Michigan, on West Main Street. It depicts an unknown parade, and in the background is the Former Opera House, the Rialto Theatre.
The Rialto Theatre, 307 West Main Steeet, Brighton, Michigan, was originally built in 1918 to show silent movies. Silent movies were often accompanied by piano music provided by a local artist.
The Rialto Theatre was a multi-use theater between 1918 and 1937 hosting movies, meetings, music, commencements, lectures and conventions. In 1937, there was extensive remodeling of the Rialto converting it into a bowling alley. After World War II, the Bowling Alley was demolished to make way for a parking lot.
