Cavern Theater on N. Canyon Avenue in Carlsbad, New Mexico

by John Margolies

In 1979, the famous photographer of roadside America, John Margolies, photographed this colorful picture which showcases the striking tower marquee at the historic Cavern Theater on N. Canyon Avenue in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The style of this theater is Mid-Century Art Deco with bright yellow neon letters against green corrugated metal and southwestern red bricks. Amidst the stark blue background of a cloudless sky, Margolies brings out the graphical geometric lines of this theater.

For people who love vintage buildings, history of New Mexico, theater design, and mid-century Americana, this gallery-quality print is a fascinating option that will bring the flavor of Southwestern style and vintage to a living room, office, or home theater.
