47th Street Theatre, Theatre building in Hell's Kitchen, US.
The historic 47th Street Theatre at 304 West 47th Street features a compact interior space with seating for 196 spectators in Manhattan.
This structure, designed by architect Napoleon LeBrun, began its existence in 1888 as Fire Engine Company No. 54 for the New York City Fire Department.
The Puerto Rican Traveling Theater established their main performance space in this former firehouse during the early 1970s, adding to Manhattan's theatrical diversity.
