SOME TIME IN THE"80’S" A CAR CRASHED IN INTO THE LOBBY,SMASHING THE ORIGINAL “1948"GLASS AND WOOD FRAME WINDOWS.IT WAS REPLACED WITH METAL FRAMES AND NEW GLASS.IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW AFTER THE REPAIR IT LOOKED THE SAME.

Little did I know as a six month old baby celebrating his first Christmas that down the street the “new” Lindenhurst Theatre opened. I saw my first movie there a re-showing of the classic “Snow White” in 1953. The rest is history. My last time there was August 1965 and my family moved.

In the last few years of it’s life they added signage to the Wellwood Av and Montauk Highway section of the building above the marquee. It would be nice if someone could find a picture showing that.

The exterior walls and signage are all up. Just need to complete a bit of the facade, the parking lot and the interior. I would think CVS will open by July 4th.

The Lindenhurst Theatre has been demolished, the last part the building went down on Saturday, February 1, 2014. Interior demolition began three weeks ago and the well built building took slightly longer than the expected one week I was told it would take. The demolition foreman told me that he had never demolished a building in such good condition. By the way a CVS will replace the theatre and the 3 parcels of land. The CVS will run from Wellwood Avenue to Washington Avenue. Lindenhurst can now boast they have the “biggest” CVS drugstore on Long Island. P.S. The cost of the 4 properties cost CVS 6 million dollars. The CVS in the village will close once construction is completed. I filmed and photographed as the walls came down daily and would like to post them but I don’t have a private computer at home. Farewell to the LINDENHURST Theatre 12-25-48 to 2-1-14.

Ground was broken for this theater on March 8, 1948.
The cost was $ 250,000.

Despite all the discussion on the CVS project both the theater and the adjacent buildings are still standing. There is also no indication of CVS locating here.

robboehm on November 15, 2013 at 8:26 pm

Seems like an odd location for a CVS, well past the heart of town. There is already a big CVS just north of the main shopping area. Reality is the property isn’t all that large for the store and the parking they usually have associated with their properties.

Anyone have contacts Town of Babylon or Village of Lindenhurst?

robboehm on August 18, 2013 at 5:54 pm

Well if the theater was sold and it’s going to be a CVS that is not apparent. All the real estate signs are still up and there is no CVS sign. Certainly if it were a done deed three months would be sufficient to at least change the signage.

wally 75 on May 21, 2013 at 12:37 am

Thought the town didn’t want them….

FormerFlixGuy on May 20, 2013 at 4:38 pm

Theatre building and adjacent property were just sold for over $6 Million. It will be a CVS.

wally 75 on December 26, 2011 at 1:48 pm

PS: IF YOU CHECK THE PHOTOS I TOOK AND ED POSTED ON APRIL 9TH THE SIGN THE LEASED SIGN WAS THERE…

wally 75 on December 26, 2011 at 1:44 pm

IF YOU WANT TO ASK AGAIN CALL THE AGENT IN JULY 2ND. THE LEASED SIGN HAS BEEN THERE THAT LONG…CVS THOUGHT THEY HAD IT BUT LOST IT…TOWN DIDN’T WANT IT…

robboehm on December 25, 2011 at 8:30 pm

Although the space is still empty there is a sign indicating “Leased” without identifying the new occupent.

wally 75 on July 2, 2011 at 5:27 am

I talked to the agent for the theatre, John at 631 982 2100, He said “CVS deal dead in the water for now”… If anyone knows anyone from Clearview, UA or private owners, give them the number above…

wally 75 on June 27, 2011 at 10:19 pm

CVS wants that corner again…town sez they don’t like plans for the drive through…..

This theatre is also listed at the Wolfsonian as an Eberson design with a date of 1947.Perhaps Sornik was an associate.

wally 75 on April 24, 2011 at 3:36 am

WENT BY FRI 4/22……FOR LEASE SIGNS STILL THERE…OH YEAH, THE BOAT IS NOW OFF THE ROOF..
