Orpheum Theater

A Kilgen theater organ opus 3970 size 3/5 style U014X was installed in the Orpheum Theater in 1927.

Walter Reade, Inc. put the Orpheum Theatre up for sale in an "Absolute Auction" on August 7, 1957, according to an ad in The New York Times on 7/17/57. I don't know if it sold. The property was described as "3 Sty brick bldg with 1 Sty extension on B'way. Contains appr 11,000 sq ft. Heavy duty bldg with high ceilings. Suitable as garage, warehouse, or for storage."

Saw this theater on my bike trip 2 weeks ago. This theatre is really far away from the Kingston Theatre as it's the 3rd downtown settlement in Kingston. It's on the right side of the street as it slopes downhill toward the water and Rondout which looks like NOLA.

The Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) has its offices in the building, which is listed as 97 Broadway. The cornerstone says 1925. When you go to the side for pictures, the small hallway goes to the back and intrigues you as the small stagehouse is now a Second Empire house with a Mansard roof. It's quite cool. The left side has pilasters and some stairways.
