The Department of Buildings gives an invalid address for 958 Marcy Avenue. There is a church located at 956 Marcy Avenue and I was wondering if the church building could be this former theater.

Judging from the Google Maps satellite and street views, the building certainly looks as though it could have been a neighborhood movie theater before becoming the Beulah Church of God in Christ Jesus Inc. (one of the most entertaining church names ever.)

The building does look like it was a theater at one time. You can see another street view on this site. Click on “see street view”.

The building looks like it could be a neighborhood size theatre and also the location to that intersection.

You can use this link to get an aerial view. Copy and paste this address into the search box on that site. 956 Marcy Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11216 The building should be to the left of the arrow.

I agree William, the building looks about the right size for a neighborhood theater. The small building to the right might be used by the church today but it really wasn’t part of the larger building.

That’s a good link. I use it on many addresses to see the buildings and neighborhoods for theatres.
