1940 is the last building on the block, currently. None of the photos show the theater as a corner building. I don’t think the theater was ever at 1942.
Here’s a photo from the NYPL. You can zoom in for a better look. No date was given. http://tinyurl.com/5t9qgt
I had some trouble matching this building on Google due to the address. The building that corresponds to the vintage photos would be at 1938 Webster. 1940 is a rental hall on the corner of Webster and 178th. The two buildings bracketing the Tremont appear to be the same in all the photos. However, the Park Overlook Hotel is also listed at 1938 Webster. The hotel appears to be the building on the theater’s left in the photos. Confusion abounds.
If you compare this photo from Google maps to the June 30 view, you can see that the building on the left in both shots still exists. However, the theater on the right has been replaced by a newer building. The theater has been demolished. http://tinyurl.com/67j5gt
There are a lot of churches on E. 131st north of Miles. I tried to figure out which one could have been the Avalon, but no luck. The church may have done some remodeling.
According to the comment on July 4, the theater building apart from the airdrome had 1370 seats. Even if the auditorium was demolished, the remaining frontage would be much bigger than what’s there now. The theater has been demolished.
Here is the location as seen on Google maps. The small building is part of a used car lot. I have my doubts if this small structure was ever part of the theater. I think the status is closed/demolished. http://tinyurl.com/58vkqo
Small is an understatement. I’m surprised they fit 172 seats in there. Please also note that we do not yet have a theater listed as now being a carwash, so that would be a first.
The photo is taken off Google maps. An internet search shows the carwash at 2123 W. Division. http://tinyurl.com/6yzj42
I don’t have a way to find out when this building was constructed. It could be that the Greenwich was part of the building. However, if the building was erected after the theater opened, it’s more likely that the theater was bulldozed.
A very large building occupies the entire odd side of the block between 15th and 16th. It looks like the primary tenant is the Port of New York. If this structure was built after 1927, it’s likely that the Greenwich was one of the businesses razed to make way for the new building.
That’s what I thought.

This June 2005 blog calls the theater a grubby little duplex.

The Hulk movie opened on July 4th, according to the website, so they are indeed open.
