The Lincoln Theatre is a former cinema and vaudeville theatre in central Harlem, NYC. Once the home of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, a tiled facade and dropped ceilings were added in the 1960s. Behind the changes much of the structure remains intact, notwithstanding the, David Freeland reported in a NY Post story. A sturdy rectangular proscenium, richly brocaded in lovely floral patterns, dominates the front interior, while the original sloping floor is steep enough to make first-timers wobble. Best of all, the theater's boxes were never removed, and their gentle, curving lines add delicacy to a space that appears larger than it really is. - AsNotedIn
