The Architect’s Newspaper ran a series of wonderful shots, including the one above, showing the current state of Flatbush’s Loew’s Kings Theatre. Houston-based ACE Theatrical Group is in the process of restoring the once-majestic movie palace, which is supposed to re-open as a live theater venue in 2013.
