The Garden Theater is that large ornate building seen just in front of the train.

Thanks, Bway and lostmemory. As you might recall, Bway, that nycsubway.org image had been a mystery “location unknown” for awhile. My initial thought was that it was some odd, double-domed bank building near the Marcy Avenue station. As I recall, what finally tagged it at 111th Street on the Jamaica el was that “skewed” apt. bldg. to the right of the theater building in the nycsubway.org photo. It’s good to have links to photos of it here from both the “el” and street levels, so we can see how it’s the same building.

Yet another case of “els showing the cinemas”.

Here’s a photo taken from the el station at 111th Street showing the Garden Theater:

A few years before this was torn down they painted the front to look like an old movie theatre and added a lot of flowers painted along the bottom.
