As I recall, the Windsor Theater on the north side of Grand Street re-opened for some brief period in the 1960s, but was not successful.

There is a Rite Aid at the location now. No trace of the theater or its adjacent buildings on Grand, as seen in the 1931-32 photo.

This theater, though long closed, is an infamous location in the history of New York underground film: Its roof served as the location for Jack Smith’s groundbreaking (and allegedly obscene)“Flaming Creatures!”

I’ll add more info when I can access my archives (currently in storage).
