Ben Rubenstein This photo was taken at the intersection of St. John's Place (running left to right across the frame of the photo) and 6th Avenue (the street these brownstones run along), looking to the southeast. The church steeple is that of Church of St. Augustine in Park Slope, Brooklyn (116 6th Ave, Brooklyn). The brownstone in the foreground is located at 146 6th Avenue. The brownstone and the neighborhood is looking much better these days... See: www.google.com/maps/@40.677543,-73.97653,3a,75y,297.9h,90...

It was called the world's largest theatre by its builders and had a seating capacity of 5,300" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Hippodrome

swanq and Art Siegel: Thanks for both the info on this magnificent theater as well as that good catch about the skating exhibitions. We will expand the record.
