Boulevard Theater

Boulevard Theater is a large structure located on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami that was originally built as a cinema venue. The building maintains the architectural character of a classic movie palace from its era, with substantial interior volume and traditional theater design elements.

The building opened in 1940 as a cinema and was part of a larger movie theater chain. By the 1970s, it transitioned from film screenings to a different form of entertainment venue.

In 1970, the venue shifted from traditional cinema to adult entertainment when Leroy Griffith purchased it for $165,000 and renamed it the Pussycat.

The venue is easily accessible, located on a main thoroughfare in north Miami. Visitors should be aware that access and operating conditions may vary depending on current use.

The building has carried several different names over the decades, each reflecting its changing purpose. This progression of identities shows how the space transformed from one entertainment form to another.
