3. The Uptown Theater

The Uptown Theater appears to have been designed by George M. Pollard and opened either in 1920 or 1926. It remained opened for close to forty years before being converted into a retail location. The lobby space is currently occupied by a Gristede’s supermarket and it is possible that some of the original details remain hidden above the current drop ceiling or  behind the walls or ceilings of the other retail stores that occupy the theater’s former auditorium. (This theater appears to be one of the least documented theaters in the area).
