RKO Keith's Richmond Hill Theatre

I lived in Richmond Hill until I married at age 22….In the fabulous 60’s I went there when the rock band Dave Clark Five were appearing, I remember my older brother holding me and my twin up so we could get a glimpse of them. We always went to Jahn’s Ice Cream Parlor next door. I loved that neighborhood, especially Richmond Hill Library down the block from there. What memories. When I was dating my husband, we would stop in to Glenn’s Tavern across the street from the RKO. Some nights, we had dinner in Salerno’s restaurant. Anyone else have any memories…write me at

The RKO Richmond Hill Theatre once seated 2234 people.

This theater is still standing and remains open. It’s currently being used as a bingo hall and flea market. Although the seats have been removed from the main floor, the theater is otherwise completely intact from the days it functioned as a movie house.
