Well, I look out my window at the back of it every day and oft wondered if there was some grand old beauty that got buried there. My wandering in the building(s) led me to believe it was unlikely. The front, what would’ve been the entry and lobby are a 99 cent store. The back, which the pictures show nicely, is actually a recording/rehearsal studio and I see bands coming and going from there often. From what I’m told, it’s just the former stage and fly space portion that have been cordoned off and are used for the task. Maybe that tall ceiling makes the room sound interesting to record in?

I too, live in the neighborhood and have walked by this for years. What a rare jewel! I hope it is intact and someone can find a way to save it! Here is a little bit more info I found-
Great shot of it in the 40’s:
