I made a quick site visit earlier today – very quick one since I had to run to the B52 bus to make my next stop. In a nutshell, 208 St. Nicholas is now occupied by a brick building that is very similar to the houses constructed in the late teens and early nineteen-twenties. Thus, this is the buiilding that clearly replaced the Idle Hour Theatre after its demolition.

I think the cross streets were Linden and Gates – on the south and – now Brooklyn – side. I am sure that nothing cinematic has existed here for many decades, certainly not since this site joined the County of Kings!

I think you are probably right Bway. I will try to visit this site on my next free day just to get a sense of where this old theater was situated.

The building must have been torn down, as I looked in google street view, and the current building doesn’t look to date to 1914
