Saturday, there will be a ceremony at the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul in honor of that building's placement on the National Registry of Historic Places.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the theater's construction and there will be a series of events to mark the occasion.

Earlier this week, Cathy Wurzer met Twin Cities architecture historian Larry Millett at the Fitzgerald and they talked about the design of the building and how it fits into history of live theater in the Twin Cities.
