Avalon Theater (Brooklyn)

The Avalon Theater was a now defunct theater that opened in Brooklyn, New York on January 25, 1928 and was located on Kings Highway at the northwest corner of East 18th Street in the United States of America.

Originally built by a local Brooklyn company as the Piccadilly, it was sold prior to opening to Loews Theaters, which changed the name to Avalon. Designed by Samuel Cohen, the auditoriums seated 2,119 and featured a Robert Morton theatre pipe organ. Within a year of opening, it became part of the Century Theatres chain.

The theater closed in 1982 and the building now houses a Rite Aid pharmacy, and offices on the upper floors.
