Apparently some seats were lost in the renovation. What John RL fails to mention is that, unlike the “corporate 12-plex down the street”, the Westhampton features Williamsburg architecture, including a fireplace and requisite portrait hanging over it, a huge, gorgeous mirror in the lobby, and some original signage from the early days, including a “Men’s Lounge” sign to indicate the men’s restroom. There are also paintings displayed by a local art league, as well as many brass fixtures (stanchions and door plates) which are kept highly polished by Robert, the Westhampton doorman of many years.
To be fair, I’m a former manager, so I maybe be a bit biased. It is a grand old movie house in my eyes.
My posting lost the first line, which was:
There are 480 seats in the downstairs auditorium and 279 in the upstairs (old balcony) auditorium.
