Summary
| Description | The building at 66 Second Avenue (left) between East 3rd and 4th Street in the East Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan, New York City was once the entrance to a 5,000 seat theatre. Opened in 1926-27 as the Public Theatre, and designed by David M. Oltarsh & H. Craig Severance in the Clasical Revival style, it presented Yiddish films and Yiddish vaudeville at a time when Second Avenue was known as the "Jewish Rialto". By 1953 it was a Hispanic movie theater, the Antillas. In 1957 it was rechristened the Phyllis Anderson Theatre and presented Yiddish theatre and Off-Broadway plays. In the '60s and '70s, it presented rock and roll and experimental theater. In 1977, it became the CBGB Second Avenue Theatre. The theatre itself was primarily around the corner on the south side of 4th Street. It was partly demolished in 1990, and in 1997 the remainder was turned into apartments. The building next door at 64 Second Avenue (right) was built as a rowhouse c. 1844-45, and a new Arts & Crafts facade was designed by Louis A. Sheinart in 1927. Both buildings are located within the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District (Source: "East Village/Lower East Side Historic District Designation Report" and Cinema Treasures) |
