The current owner for the property can be found through public records (which I was able to do easily, and although I was tempted to post the information, I am honoring zmaster’s previous post). I’m wondering if the Wurlitzer owner mentioned in zmaster’s post is the same as the owner of the building (since the current property owner also happens to live in spitting distance of the old theater, so to speak).
Here is a picture found in public records, although I do not know how recent it is.
If the Wurlitzer owner is the same as the Brookland Theater owner, and if he is indeed in the winter of his life, there is a slim to none chance he will consider selling the Brookland Theater and it will most likely be bequeathed to a surviving relative… which is a shame because there are those of us with the funding power who would love to see this place restored.

As of at least sometime in 2009, it is now home to the Xscape Ultra Premium Lounge. The building is currently owned by Charles Lambert.
