Located on the corner of Fordham Road and Jerome Avenue in the Bronx. You can still see the painting on the brick wall that faces Fordham Road – “Loew’s Grand – Vaudeville and Photo Plays”. The paint is covered by a thin veil at the moment.
Completely gutted and turned into retail stores that took up the entire two floors. In the 1980’s it was a Loehmann’s clothing store, then a Lionel Kiddy City, a Wiz, and now a cheap department store called El Mundo.

This photo of the Loew’s Grand is the same as Damien posted on Jun 24, 2004 only this one is alot clearer. The date given with the photo is 1928.
A Loew’s circuit ad in the March 1st, 1943 issue of The New York Times says that the Grand Theatre sold $153,000 in U.S. War Bonds in one day. I don’t know why the Grand was singled out for mention, but perhaps just to inspire patrons of all Loew’s theatres to try to equal or suprass that mark.
Three photographs I took of the Loew’s Grand Theater in June 2005:

Here is another view of Loew’s Grand.
Here’s a new link to rare views of the auditorium. The Grand was considered the crown jewel of Loew’s Bronx theatres until it was surpassed by the Paradise:

Warren, why do hardly any of your photobucket pics work?
I cannot get any of the photobucket pictures either. guess photobucket has kicked the bucket.
Warren must have turned his photobucket off to CT members.
Not a lot of post for an NYC Theatre.
True Mike, comparded to the Loews Grand Atlanta Lots of history and photos on that page.
