3. The Loew’s Sheridan Theatre
Opened in September 1921, the 2,342-seat Loew’s Sheridan Theatre was originally called the Mark Strand Sheridan Square Theatre. It was located at 7th Avenue and West 12th Street in Greenwich Village, now the site of St. Vincent’s Triangle and the NYC Aids Memorial. The theater was frequented by painter Edward Hopper, who immortalized the interior in one of his paintings. The theater closed in June 1969 and was soon purchased by St. Vincent’s Hospital with the intention of building nurses’ housing. It was demolished in August 1968.
