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!!!

    • I believe that theatres should be THEATERS. See my work for the Biltmore Theatre (Google: Friends of the Biltmore)

    • This theater is, was a gem. If we allow all of our architectural history to be obliterated, how will we ever know where we came from.

    • Please, please restore the theater!!! I've lived in Rego Park for 9 years and every time I pass by the Trylon I think "what a shame". It would be nice to have a beautiful movie theater in the neighborhood

    • We have been going to the Trylon for about 40 years. Whenever we get back to NY, we back it our business to catch a show there. It just wouldn't be the same without it.

    • Preserving history, preserving our culture and protecting what little is left of it is a lot better than putting up some more stucco covered modern-day architecture. I live in San Diego where we've preserved the remnants of the World's Fair and the area is a major tourist attraction as well as the most beautiful part of the city. I was looking online at some of the sites of other world's fairs, and it's sad to know that so many of these historic buildings are gone now. We can't continue to destroy our heritage and our history... these things need to be remembered and preserved.
