LinkLinks DCist: D.C.’s Biggest Disaster Struck 100 Years Ago At The Knickerbocker Theater By Editor On Jan 28, 2022 Last updated Jan 28, 2022 45 Share More than two feet of snow had fallen on the District of Columbia, as movie-goers settled into their seats in the warmth of the Knickerbocker Theater on January 28, 1922. The theatre in Adams Morgan was the largest in the city, with seating for more than 1,500, but on this cold, snowy night, just 300 people showed up — mostly those who lived within walking distance and could trudge through the snow to the grand movie palace at the corner of 18th St. and Columbia Rd.
