QUEENS, NY — We need your help! The art moderne Trylon Theater, located at 98-81 Queens Blvd, is greatly endangered.

A community group is poised to renovate the theater for their use. Without New York City landmark protection for the exterior of this rare surviving gem, there is no certainty that the entrance pavilion will be preserved.

Please email the chair of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, Bob Tierney and ask him to designate this important theater. We need every person across the country to add their voice. It is not too late.

Chair Bob Tierney’s email is - rtierney@lpc.nyc.gov. Please call me, John Jurayj (718-782-2007), if you would like to help out. Letters to the Landmarks Commission would also be greatly appreciated. We need to show the Landmarks Commission that there is nation wide support for the protecting the Trylon Theater.

Thank you,
John Jurayj
