We’re very proud to have been featured in the fall 2025 issue of Preservation Magazine for saving the former Midtown/Metro/UWS Cinema Center–now known as the Uptown–and working towards the preservation of its gorgeous, landmarked facade.
The theater was designed and built in 1932-33 by Boak & Paris. In 1989, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission gave the facade landmark status, calling the theater a “rare surviving Art Deco style neighborhood movie theater” with “one of the finest facades of its type in New York City.”
