NYC protects a carpet store. AP is impotent as its history is demolished. June 6, 2006 Manhattan: Harlem Theater Site Is Named Landmark By DAVID W. DUNLAP One of the earliest existing theater buildings in New York designed especially for movies or "photo plays," as they were called when it opened in 1914 was given landmark status yesterday by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Now a furniture and carpet store, the structure at Broadway and 135th Street was once the Claremont Theater and dance hall. It was designed by Gaetano Ajello and ornamented with a terra-cotta movie camera on a tripod. Thomas Edison recorded Claremont patrons in 1915 in a short film that can be viewed at memory.loc.gov/mbrs/awal/4185.mpg.
