Designed c. 1929 in the French Renaissance style style by Rapp & Rapp with interiors by Rambusch Studios. It was the 2nd/3rd of the five ‘Wonder Theatres’ built by Loew’s in New York City. The vast entrance lobby that opens onto an even more spacious inner lobby with murals depicting scenes from the Royal Court of the Bourbons and then on to a foyer at the rear of the orchestra level.
After being closed in the 1970's, it languished abandoned for 30 years under the ownership of Flatbush Redevelopment Corporation until being reopened in 2015 after a $95M restoration by EverGreene Architectural Arts with Martinez + Johnson Architecture. $75,000 was spent to restore the original Louis XVI-style furniture produced by Henri Lemoine of Paris which had been saved by Dorothy Solomon Panzica.
It is now a live performance theater operated by Houston-based ACE Theatrical Group. The interior lobby was used as a location for the Netflix film "Worth" (2020). The interior and exterior was used for S4E3 of the Amazon Video original series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".
