It was built next to Catskill Creek, near a swimming hole known as Slippery Hole, on Green Lake Road near an old stone bridge. There is still a old stone refreshment stand(built before the open air theatre, that is still standing there. There is also still marks on the rocks of bank of Catskills Creek where the projector was bolted on to rocks. Also some faint ramps remaining on in the grass banks.

There is a 3rd screen now as well, just to the left after you go in the front doors(looks small in there?). The front of the Windsor Cinema still says it’s a twin Cinema though.
