Excerpt:
?This 2342-seat theatre was located at 2 Seventh Avenue at 11th
Street, in the western portion of New York's famed Greenwich Village.
It was opened in 1921.?
?Although the theater is gone, it was immortalized by Edward Hopper in
his 1937 painting, The Sheridan Theater.?
(?)
?After years of light attendance, the balcony was closed and soon,
the theater itself was shuttered in 1969. That same year, St.
Vincent's Hospital, located across Seventh Avenue from the Sheridan,
purchased the theater's triangular lot, with the intention of building
a nurses residence. The hospital demolished the theater soon after,
but the land wound up being used as a community garden.?
?Today, nothing remains of this theater. The lot is still in use by
St. Vincent's, but simply as a receiving station for various
supplies.?
