Abandoned theater in Newark, New Jersey by @joelmnadlerphotography

prestonmarkstone I think that's the Newark Paramount theater, built c. 1886 or so. It was originally built for live performance, but eventually transitioned to movies. It had a beautiful Wurlitzer organ for a while before sound films came along. The problem was that it was designed with one performance space, which meant only one movie screen and only one movie playing at a time. The theater had around 2,300 seats, and there really weren't many movies that would draw that kind of crowd on a regular basis. So they started losing money in the 1950s, which meant they never really upgraded the sound system to compete with more modern theaters, etc. Paramount closed in the 1980s, unable to compete with a couple of newer movie theaters nearby. They still use the lobby for pop-up stores, but I hear they plan to demolish the theater in the near future and keep only the facade.

linderfum ?This certainly is not the Stanley theater in Jersey City ?? @davemcgann1979 ?
