The original Hippodrome only lasted from July, 1912 until early 1913, so this photo has to date from that period. Over the sidewalk on the near side of the street we can see the sign for the Woodward Arcade, which has the modern address 1545 Woodward, which would put the first Majestic, the Hippodrome’s neighbor, at approximately 1550 Woodward.
