Summary
| Description |
English: Picture of the New Granada Theater located at 2007 Centre Avenue in the Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 7, 2010. The building was built in 1927 and 1928, architect Louis A. S. Bellinger, and it originally was a Pythian Temple, a meeting place for the Knights of Pythias (a fraternal order and secret society). In this case, it was a lodge for a group of African American construction workers known as the Knights of the Pythian. In the 1930s, the building was sold to Harry Hendel, who moved two blocks from his old Granada Theater to this New Granada Theater. The building was remodeled in 1937 and 1938 by Alfred M. Marks, and it became a movie theater as well as a place for live entertainment, music and dancing. Jazz legends such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie and Cab Calloway performed at this location.[1] After years of disrepair, a new remodeling effort is said to be in the works.[2] The building is on the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations as well as the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 2010. |
