To Theaterman007: I have a great opportunity for you in Ridgewood, NY. It was built in 1916 by Thomas Lamb, and is now endangered. It is the longest continuously operating theater in NY, and believed to be countrywide. It is for lease and possibly for sale. Please contact me at your earliest convenience at

Thank you,

Thanks for sharing! Have you heard that bit of information from the owner? What other original features are intact inside the theater and worth preserving? In many instances, suspended ceilings and drywall can be removed to reveal original grandeur, and that would make a huge difference in not only aesthetics and history, but a theater’s investment potential.

NewYorkDave, do you know where the Museum of Sound Recording is located? Please tell me who you were in touch with, and provide their e-mail and phone if you can.

Al of Alliewayfilms has a superb proposal for the theater, and I hope many of you will be getting involved since we’re considering to launch a fundraiser. He can be reached at , and I can be reached at Please do not hesitate to contact Al & keep in touch with him. He’s a great guy, who also has an appreciation for the community and various causes.

However, we must have many plans if we really want to save the Ridgewood Theatre. Perhaps both parties can partner up and share the building, if Al’s plan doesn’t materialize. We must think fast & be as clever as possible! Who’s on board? Hope to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

The “Retail space available” banner doesn’t necessarily mean the entire building is for sale, or will be sold, but we can’t outrule that option: http://flickr.com/photos/8095451@N08/2340129010/

Not a good sign, but “temporarily disconnected” is better than disconnected.

That’s an interesting lead. Will they reopen some of the screens?
