Destruction of New Haven's Loew's Poli Bijou

The 3200 seat theater near Church and George Streets was a true movie palace. Sylvester Poli lived in New Haven, this was one his favorite theaters. to this day, the empty lot is only a parking lot. A tremendous loss for the city of New Haven.

SORRY….CORRECTION…THE CORRECT SEATING OF THIS THEATER, THE LOEW’S POLI BIJOU, WAS ABOUT 1500 SEATS. THE 3200 SEAT POLI THEATER, SYLVESTER POLI’S FAVORITE, WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE BIJOU ON CHURCH STREET, NEAR THE CORNER OF CHURCH & GEORGE STREET. LATER THE POLI LOT BECAME PART OF THE BLOCK LONG ‘MACY’S NEW HAVEN. THE BIJOU, PICTURED IS STILL AN EMPTY LOT NEXT TO THE FORMER FIRST NEW HAVEN NATIONAL BANK.
