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. |
