DEMOLITION: END OF THE COLISEUM THEATRE



Harlem Bespoke:  The controversial demolition of the historic Coliseum Theatre in Washington Heights had been put in motion within the past three years but it was in 2020 when the walls finally went down.  The above photos were taken a couple of weeks ago and not much of the old building at the corner of 181st and Broadway remained intact.  So what will go up after all the destruction?  Apparently a glass shopping mall because more commercial retail is apparently something in high demand these days.  Check out our past post to see the intact coliseum and also the new building that will be rising soon at this uptown corner: LINK
