I grew up at 558 W 181st from 1954 to 1971. The Lane had an entrance on 181st at 560 W 181st that went into the block with a majority of the theater on the 180th street side. The Gem was gone before I could remember it but I have a map of the Heights from 1932 that shows the entrance was on St. Nick about mid block and next to the apartment building at the corner of 180th.
