Avalon Theater (Brooklyn)

Avalon Theater (Brooklyn)

The Avalon Theater is a defunct theater that opened in Brooklyn, New York in 1927 and was located on Kings Highway and East 18th Street of United States of America.

Originally built by a local Brooklyn company as the Piccadilly, it was sold prior to opening to Loews Theaters, which changed the name to Avalon. Designed by Samuel Cohen, the auditoriums seated 2,100 and featured a Robert Morton theatre pipe organ.

The theater closed in 1982 and the building now houses a Rite Aid pharmacy and offices on upper floors.
