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.

This article mentions the COGIC church youth center. I think the blogger made a mistake as he listed the center at the same address as a diner which he mentioned in the same paragraph. http://tinyurl.com/6xdyvy
It looks like it says LOGIC or COGIC Youth Center on the sign, but I didn’t come up with anything on the internet. I think the Google photo was taken some years after the 2000 photo. I don’t think Google started photographing street locations until 2005 or 2006.
You can’t see it in my photo, but the plaque stating “Church of Christ” as seen in the 2000 view has now been erased.
This is a photo I took off of Google maps. There is an auto repair shop at 3685 a few doors down. That plus the function as church leads to the conclusion that this is the New Rex. It looks like the sign says Youth Center, but that could be a church program. http://tinyurl.com/5dunhq
If you look at the photos on Google, you may agree with me that the old building exists with a new false front that has some retail busineses. 1316 doesn’t exist any more as a street address, though. The bakery on the corner is 1318, while the business next to it is 1314. If you swing around to 176th Street, you can see what looks like a long narrow building extending about halfway down the block. Of course, this whole discussion presupposes that the area now looks as it did when they were taking the photos.

No, I didn’t know that. My feeling is that this should remain a church. That’s what all the evidence points to.

The Congress is now the Clara Muhammmad School. The building is still standing. Function should be changed to school.
My conclusion is that the function should be retail.
