Loews State
1540 Broadway
The 3,327-seat Leows State Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb and opened in 1921
as a vaudeville and film house. It underwent a significant renovation in 1958
(that halved seating capacity) and subdivided into a twin theatre in 1968.
The theatre was finally was sold in 1987 and demolished to make way for the existing
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed Bertelsmann Building that opened
in the late 1990s. The Virgin Megastore in the building's base included a
4-screen theatre that unprofitably bore the "Loews State" name
and quickly closed.
