Three sets of double doors separate the lobby from the hallway to Main Street. When the Pantages was built, the hallway was built through an existing building facing Main Street. These doors mark the end of that building. The short section of hallway on the camera's side of the doors was built to connect that existing building with the new building containing the lobby and auditorium. Grant Smith 11 August 2012
