The theater was named after the famous Trylon and Perisphere structures at the fair located on the site of the present Unisphere. These were striking and represented in all manner of souvenirs. Alas, they were only temporary being made of plasterboard on a steel frame.
Good stuff—thanks, DoF!
It’s a really decent design, although the upper tower is a bit flat.
Queens Boulevard is more like a highway and really needs a greener redesign.
Should be taller. All these QB developments should be taller. We really should be seeing 30 floors as a minimum height.
Wow, this building significantly raised the standard for buildings along Queens Boulevard. Hopefully other new buildings will follow suit.
