On March 22, 2017, MAS was delighted to join Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez for a press conference announcing his support for designating the Loew’s 175th Street Theatre. We are grateful to all the MAS members who called and emailed to express their support for this treasured soon-to-be landmark.

Statement from MAS President Elizabeth Goldstein:

“MAS applauds Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez for committing to support the designation of the Loew’s 175th Street Theatre, also known as the United Palace. One of New York’s five gilded age Wonder Theatres, The Loew’s Theatre is a jewel of Washington Heights that has waited 45 long years for landmark status. We hope its designation draws attention to the many other cultural and historic assets of Northern Manhattan that should be preserved for future generations.”
