The Bayer orange ct offices are now permanently closed. The replacement showcase cinemas complex is also permanently closed, which has its own page.
This venue’s 70mm presentations history is included in the recently-published article “70mm Presentations in New Haven: A Chronology of 70mm Large Format Exhibition, 1960-Present”.
I don’t think these were ever General Cinema Theatres, but just designed by the same architect. The evolution of the complex here is similar to how many other Redstone/National Amusement “CINEMA I-II” evolved. (West Springfield, MA; Louisville, KY; Toledo, OH; to name a few)
Also – while not 100% reliable, this does not appear on an internal list of GCC locations that was posted to a General Cinema group on Facebook that appeared to contain all GCC locations since the 1950’s.
Didn’t see this above, but the theater officially closed in mid-1994. Not 100% sure on the demolition date, but it was very soon after.
Drove by it Thursday heading on a trip to New York and just by my eye sight I was able to capture a picture of the old cinema entrance sign but, sadly the building was all gone wasn’t able to stop and look but, was neat that I was able to see the old sign.
