The Town and the adjacent Glen Cove were both designed by Queens architect Leon A. Miller, according to his biographical listing in the 1962 AIA Directory. The Glen Cove was the earlier project, built in 1959. The Town was built in 1961.
Which came first the Glen Cove or the Town. They were built side by side and looked identical from the outside.

I don’t think I’d even started kindergarten when the Town Theater was closed and demolished, which puts it around 1978-9. IIRC it had a reddish brick front with some odd art piece on the right side of the facade. I want to say it had two screens – I recall a rectangular marquee which took up most of the front and was split. It was just about on the corner of Glen Street and Town Path, where there’s now a group of stores including Radio Shack. My husband tells me Young Frankenstein played there, and I recall Grease, which should help date it.
