The 40th Street Theatre was originally built in the early 1900's as a Vaudeville house named the Hamilton Street Theatre. It later changed hands, was upgraded to allow film and was renamed the Winn Theatre before it again changed hands and was renamed the 40th Street Theatre. The theatre closed down in the mid 1950's and the building was purchased by Martin's Bakery which utilized the space for the bakery's needs.
We purchased the property a few years ago for the purpose of expanding Hargiss Stringed Instruments. As we started to make the necessary repairs to the buildings it became clear that an old theatre was hiding and so we decided to restore the building back to what it had been. Using 90% recycled or used materials it took us a few years to restore the theatre back to what it once was.

The Cats
Report
When we purchased the buildings they had been mostly vacant for a number of years. We discovered cats and bats taking advantage of the quiet indoors. The bats chose to leave of their own accord, but we discovered that there was a pretty large feral cat population that was only getting bigger every year.
