This venue’s 70mm presentations history is included in the recently-published article “70mm Presentations in New Haven: A Chronology of 70mm Large Format Exhibition, 1960-Present”.

I don’t think these were ever General Cinema Theatres, but just designed by the same architect. The evolution of the complex here is similar to how many other Redstone/National Amusement “CINEMA I-II” evolved. (West Springfield, MA; Louisville, KY; Toledo, OH; to name a few)

Also – while not 100% reliable, this does not appear on an internal list of GCC locations that was posted to a General Cinema group on Facebook that appeared to contain all GCC locations since the 1950’s.

Didn’t see this above, but the theater officially closed in mid-1994. Not 100% sure on the demolition date, but it was very soon after.

Drove by it Thursday heading on a trip to New York and just by my eye sight I was able to capture a picture of the old cinema entrance sign but, sadly the building was all gone wasn’t able to stop and look but, was neat that I was able to see the old sign.
