Rochester RKO Palace Theater

This is a drawing of the great RKO Palace Theater in Rochester NY.  Build in 1906, the place could seat 5,000 people, and was the largest theater in the city.  It was one of the last RKO Theaters.  The place was torn down in 1967.  Today, the city is building a bus terminal on the site.  During the construction, they uncovered the RKO's foundation.  The RKO had a massive Wurlitzer Theater Organ.  The organ was salvaged and it was installed in the Auditorium Theater on Main Street.
