Hurts to see it current state. Was the interiir gutted?
What year did this movie theater get closed down?
Oh how I remember paying twenty-five cents and watching three or more movies (no first run movies) in one day at The Casino.
An item in the October 21, 1922, issue of The American Contractor said that bids were being taken for construction of a theater, store, and apartment building to be built on Willis Avenue between 138th and 139th Streets. The architect was Eugene DeRosa. It must have been the Casino.
Four photographs of the Casino Theatre I took in June 2005:
