Strand Theatre (Brooklyn)

The theatre was built for vaudeville with a maximum capacity of nearly 4,000 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, and was constructed by the T.A.

Clark Construction Company, and hosted talent including Houdini.

[3] From 1920 to 1927 the theatre was managed by Edward L. Hyman, a popular exhibitionist that attracted audiences with his elaborate musical productions.

[2] Subsequent to that, it was gutted internally and converted into a glass factory when the city took it over due to tax foreclosure,[4] which it remained until early in the 20th century when UrbanGlass moved in 1991[5] and BRIC followed suit in 1993.

[1] When a printing company that operated on the first floor left in the mid 1990s, UrbanGlass and BRIC began discussions of renovating the space.
