The signers of this petition agree that the 1939 Art Deco/Moderne Trylon Theater (98-81 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, NY) is one of the last standing structures which has a strong cultural, historical, & architectural significance to the 1939 Worldвs Fair, with its вTrylon & Perisphereв monuments. On behalf of residents and historical societies, it is of utmost importance to halt further demolition, restore what was lost during the conversion, preserve this icon, and officially landmark this truly rare gem of a theater!!!

    • Once a historic theater is demolished, it can NEVER be brought back. The same is true of any other historic landmark. It's alarming to see that there are still old time theaters out there in danger of being razed. Save the Trylon!

    • We've already lost The RKO KEITH and many other 'movie palaces' of the past. Queens deserves to have the Trylon preserved as a landmark.

    • Don't regret knocking this beautiful, classy bulding down as another mistake, e.g. the opera house!

    • It is essential that this historic theatre is saved, and that its design elements are preserved. Queens has traditionally been short-changed when it comes to preservation. Let us start the process of restoring elegance and tradition to Queens..
