  • BOOTH THEATER, 222-232 West 45Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 4, 1987; Designation List 194 LP-1321 BOOTH THEATER, 222-232 West 45th Street, Manhattan. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry Herts. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1016, Lot 15 in part consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Booth Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 17). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Booth Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1912- 13, shortly before World War I, to the designs of Henry B.
