As I recall, the Windsor Theater on the north side of Grand Street re-opened for some brief period in the 1960s, but was not successful.
Opening shortly at the Windsor…

There is a Rite Aid at the location now. No trace of the theater or its adjacent buildings on Grand, as seen in the 1931-32 photo.

This theater, though long closed, is an infamous location in the history of New York underground film: Its roof served as the location for Jack Smith’s groundbreaking (and allegedly obscene)“Flaming Creatures!”
I’ll add more info when I can access my archives (currently in storage).
Listed in the American Motion Picture Directory 1914 -1915 as the Windsor Theatre.
Film Daily Yearbook;1926 edition gives a seating capacity as 520 for the Windsor Theatre. In the F.D.Y. 1930 and 1941 editions it has 400 seats. Seating is given as 460 in the 1943 edition of F.D.Y and back to 400 in the 1950 edition.
