Such a beautiful capture of the exterior of the Tuschinski movie theater!!! Did you go inside the building?
I see that ~reniviD asked you when the building was built.
Abraham Tuschinski (a Polish immigrant who was on his way to America, but decided to stay) asked architect Hijman Louis de Jong to build this theater. It was opened on October 28, 1921. It's in the Regulierbreestraat, close to the Dam in Amsterdam, as you might know. The building is a monument and you can find information here [link]
Unfortunately it's only in Dutch, but for some pictures you can click on 'exterieur', 'interieur' and 'restauratie' (underlined words in the text).

Wow!!! Thank you so much for all of the details! I just happened to walk by it by chance and was very impressed but didnt find out any facts about it. I only went into the lobby a bit. It didn't seem to be open really at the time. If you don't mind I'd like to add your details to the description under the picture. :)

I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the information about the Tuschinski Theatre! I went into the lobby too, and one of the persons of the theatre asked me wether I would like to see more of the interior of the building. I was not allowed to take pictures in the place where they show the movies, but it was beautiful. They organize visits to the complete building, and I sure will do that when I'm in Amsterdam again.
Of course I don't mind you adding these details to the description under the picture.
Although I find it hard to give information on my own pictures I really enjoyed your descriptions very much. :D

Well thanks so much. Yes the next time I'm in Amsterdam I'd love to see the interior of the theater. I just ran across an interesting link about the Tuschinski Theatre. I wouldn't have found this without your input. Thanks loads!!:)

Well, thats an interesting link too. And from this link I linked to flickr.
There is a very famous carpet in the entrance hall. Unbelievable that all the visitor, with their sometimes dirty shoes, can just walk over it!!!
I've got some pictures I took from the interior (entrance). I will add them to my scrabs, maybe gallery, soon.
I also love the Amsterdamse School style. I started a gallery for it (architectural styles) but because of lack of time I stopped for a while. But some pictures are added to my scrabs.
There's a building in Amsterdam, called the boat in this style. You can visit an old postoffice and a house, with art deco and Amsterdamse School furniture.
Thanks so much. Glad to have found you and your interest for buildings. :D
