From opening in 1928 until transformed into the Elmwood in 1946, the Queensboro was more closed than open, with failed attempts at movies, vaudeville, bingo hall, and subway circuit stage plays.
Roof sign was retained (with name change) for the Elmwood, and still overlooks Queens Boulevard with credit added for the current evangelical tenant.
