- The Congress Theater is a historic movie palace in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Fridstein and Company designed it in 1926 for the movie theater operator . It features ornate exterior and interior design work in a combination of the Classical Revival and Italian Renaissance styles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. In its heyday, the Congress Theater could seat over 2,904 moviegoers. The theater block also had 17 retail storefronts with 56 apartments above. More recently, the theater operated as a 3,500-capacity live music venue. For years the building was a common and popular concert venue. In April 2013, the theater was shut down and had its liquor license revoked due to numerous safety code violations. It was a source of controversy due to issues such as liquor violations, a notoriously tough security team, and lax building upkeep. In early 2014, Carranza announced he would sell the theater to developer Michael Moyer. Moyer planned to spend $65 million restoring the theater, with the goal of reopening the Congress in 2019. This plan, now under the ownership of Baum Revision, was approved by the City's Permit Review Committee in June, 2022. Further approval by the full City Council is required before construction may begin. The budget is reported to be $70.4 million, including $9 million in historic tax credits and $20 million in Tax Increment Funding. (en)

- O Congress Theater fica em Chicago e foi construída pela Fridstein and Company em 1926 para a companhia de teatro Bubliner and Trinz, e depois sobreviveu como um cinema. Anos depois passou a apresentar peças e concertos de bandas, de inicio tendo uma capacidade de 2.900 pessoas mas depois ela chegou a suportar mais de 4 mil pagantes. Em 2013 chegou a ser fechado devido a problemas com licenças. Em agosto de 2008, o anfiteatro foi local da gravação do CD/DVD ao vivo da banda Paramore intitulado The Final Riot!, sendo liberado em novembro de 2008. Oprah Winfrey já filmou a introdução do seu programa no teatro. Em julho de 2002 foi posto pela liderança política de Chicago na lista de Landmarks da cidade. Em 2014, o dono Eddie Carranza afirmou que gastaria US$ 55 milhões de dólares na reforma do Congress Theater, esperando terminar as obras em 2017. Carranza diz que a reforma revitalizaria não só o prédio mas também o turismo na região. (pt)
