The Freeport Theatre closed on September 15, 1972. Its last presentation was a double bill:
THE PUBLIC EYE/ MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS
It’s a shame you can’t really see the marquee on the announcement photo. It’s also interesting to see the original street names. One always thinks of Sunrise Highway. So many of the streets in Queens went numeric but theatres built on them retain the old names, e.g. Willard and Polk.
Added photo of theater just after it closed.
Added a photo of the Freeport being demolished.
To offset the photo of the Freeport being demolished I’ve uploaded one during the construction phase.
My Nana has an old hanging lamp that she says she got from the Freeport Movie Theater when it was being torn down. I am wondering if there is anyone who can verify if this lamp is in fact from this theater. I have a photo that I posted. Thank you for your help.
Katie, how did Nana happen to get this?
Uploaded a 1931 ad showing management under Century.
Drove by yesterday and saw a construction fence all around the empty lot with big construction vehicles inside. No clue as to what will be built there.
Well that took a long time from when it was demolished.
