The Grandview theatre was owned by the same people that owned the other two open-aire theatres in Ridgewood. I have no other information at this time.

The Triangle furniture building was built in 1909. It opened as the Ridgewood National Bank. One year later the bank moved to Cypress avenue and Myrtle avenue. The building became a dance emporium until 1926 at which point plans were underway to convert it to a theatre. The deal fell thru and the building was sold. It was used for boxing matches until the late 1930’s. That is the extent of my knowledge on this building.

My organization does not do theatre research. I am doing this work as a favor to Sally who I might add is very distraught over her information leading you gentlemen astray.
