I heard about this theater from my Mom and Dad. My father grew up in the Red Hook projects in the 50’s. Does anyone know what year it closed?

The neighboring housing project was also designed and engineered by William I. Hohauser. It was one of the first large public housing projects in the country and was completed in 1939.

I attended this theater once in January 1957. It was a Saturday afternoon double feature and the theater was packed, no empty seats.The building was rather plain, cold modern, clean in good shape.I entered about 3:30 PM and left around 7:30. Evening crowd was about 60% of matinée.

What stands there now is a series of low-rent stores. By the size of the space they take up, the theater must have been a decent size. And by what Warren has written, it was.

I think it has been demolished after closing in the mid 1960’s.
