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.
Here’s an aerial view of the old Imperial Theater, which now has been altered into a church. It’s right across from Saratoga Park.

How many Imperial Theatres are listed for Brooklyn NY, and have you checked all of them ?
I know we had a listing here for the Imperial Theater at 157 Irving Ave. Does anyone know what happened to it? Why can’t I find it. I tried searching “Imperial”, and it won’t come up. I also tried searching “Imperial” using former names. Where is the Imperial Theater listing?
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…
