This was the largest of the four first-run theatres that Loew's operated in Westchester County in the "old days". It's also one of the least documented, but I believe that it was already an operating theatre when Loew's acquired it in the 1920s.

In the early 1950s, Loew's divested it to comply with the Federal anti-trust decree against the company, at which time it was taken over by the Brandt Circuit and re-named Brandt's Yonkers.

Information about its fate after that would be appreciated.

This was apparently built by Loew's in 1927 and first opened in 1928. There's an illustrated article about it in Architecture & Building Magazine for 1928, Volume 60, pp. 241, 257-258. Eugene DeRosa and Milton H. McGuire are credited as the architects. I found an index card for this at the Library of the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center, but the periodical itself is at the Fifth Avenue & 42nd Street Library, so I haven't be able to consult it yet.

This 1954 ad for the Brandt Yonkers mentions "formerly Loew's"

Here are some rare views of the interior, which I copied from the 1928 volume of the monthly Architecture & Building Magazine:

A Robert-Morton theater organ size 3/13 was installed in Loew's Yonkers in 1927.

A photograph of the marquee and vertical sign of Loew's Yonkers circa 1928-29 can be found in the new Arcadia paperback, "Yonkers (Then and Now)," compiled by the Yonkers Historical Society. The book gives a demolition date of 1975.
