Now known as the United Palace Theatre, this one of 5 Loew's Wonder Theaters opened in 1930 at 175th Street and Broadway in Manhattan, New York City. The theatre has 3,293 seats and was designed by Thomas W. Lamb for vaudeville and movies. Its architectural style is described by the AIA Guide to New York City as "Cambodian neo-Classical."
Purchased by Christ Community United Church in 1969, this historic theatre was exquisitely restored and is still maintained for concerts (Björk, The Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, and Iggy and the Stooges are all scheduled to perform in the first half of 2007) and recitals, classes and lectures.
