The book Queensbury and Glen Falls by Bob Bayle, Andrea Matte & Tim Weidner mentions an underground passage from the neighboring Hotel Rullif to the Empire Theatre.
1910 postcard image added.
I’m not sure though, since the Uptown Update link says it is the back of the Green Mill.
It could be after the demolition of the gardens that were behind it before the Uptown was built.
The shadow I referenced was apparently cast from a chimney across the street, if you compare the two photos below.
The 1st is from Summer 1925 before construction is completed.
The 2nd is from 1926 and after the marquees on both Broadway & Lawrence are completed.
The shadows are cast longer in the second photo, as evidenced on Lawrence as well.
Given the shadows, I think that is looking West from Broadway, through what would later be the lobby.
The Green Mill’s building is to the left.
If you look at the below 1926 photo, it appears the building to the right of the Uptown entrance is either getting a new facade or a new building was built after the 1924 photo.
There also appears to be a chimney in the 1924 photo, that is casting a shadow on the Uptown’s wall in the 1926 photo.
I guess status should be Demolished then, since the State Theatre building is listed as that.
Since the box sign reads Cinema, I wonder if State II Cinema should be the page name.
That would separate it more from the State Theatre for the future as well.
