Thanks for all the replies. I had read the history Warren posted and the old picture was great to see. Such a contrast to the way it is now, although it’s amazing to me how much is still intact. But I was hoping to find out where that information and the picture came from. It sounded, from Warren’s post, like it wasn’t in the Long Island Star-Journal.
Hi,
I’ve been writing a story about the Polk and I’m trying to figure out some of the place’s history. Does anyone have any ideas how I could verify the year it was built and the architect? What I really wanted to find out was what was playing opening night, but when I looked in the local paper for all the years around 1938 I didn’t find any mention of it. Also, is there any way to find out how many adult movie theaters are left in nyc? I’d appreciate any help anyone could give.
