Atlantic Theater (New York City, New York)

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / West 20th Street, 336
 theatre, interesting place

Former parish house completed in 1871 for St. Peter's Church. The style is Victorian Gothic. By contrast with its earlier neighbors, the Church and the Rectory, the red brick Parish Hall is an example of a fashionable Victorian prototype with its pointed windows, steep roof and modest portals. A small 3-story tower is attached to the east corner of the facade.

The building is now adaptively reused as the Atlantic Theater Company, founded in 1985 by David Mamet and William H. Macy, and 30 of their acting students from New York University. The 199-seat theater was renovated in 2013 by The Brooklyn Studio.
