The Bouwerie
Lane Theatre has been a theatre since 1974. Designed one hundred years ago
by Henry Engelbert, this cast iron building is a rare example of the French
Second Empire style, and is an historic landmark. The building was home to
the German Exchange Bank, then later housed the Bond Street Savings Bank.
The space was converted into a theater in 1963. The old vault still exists
in the basement and the box office window was one of the original teller
windows. A theater since 1963, and since 1974 the home of the Jean Cocteau Repertory, a leading Off-Broadway company. |
