I had been looking for pictures of the beautiful Ormont for years! Great photos jojo!! My mom worked at Paris In The Sky on Harrison St. in East Orange in the 1950s. She talked of going to the Ormont. When she went back to the city in the 80s, it wasn’t the place she remembered, obviously. You wonder how a beautiful structure like that could be torn down. It still looked great but didn’t serve a purpose in modern times. Very sad because a hellhole like East Orange doesn’t have much going for it. Loved the blue glass window panes. Progress?
