IFC Center (New York City, New York)

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), 323
Recently converted to the IFC Center movie theater, this building dates back to 1831 when it was built as a Universalist church. After a couple of denominational changes, it became a stained-glass factory, J. & R. Lamb Studios, in 1893. It then became a cinema in 1937, known as the Waverly Theater - which was where the midnight showings and audience participation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show first began in 1976. The Waverly closed in 2001, and reopened in 2004 as the Independent Film Channel's IFC Center, designed by Larry Bogdanow. The grey facade is decorated by large metallic panels.
