On August 12, 1927 the city issued a certificate of occupancy to a Mr. Leiffer for a 460 seat motion picture theater at this address. In October of 1940 a new C/O was issued for this property to be used as a Laundromat, so this theater was closed by 1940.
Judging by the building, it was never that large of a theater to begin with.

How many Imperial Theatres are listed for Brooklyn NY, and have you checked all of them ?

Never mind, I found out what the problem was….I was looking under “Brooklyn”, and the Imperial Theater on Irving Ave is listed under “Ridgewood”. Sorry all for the confusion…. Here it is…
