After nearly two decades of sitting empty, the Pagoda Theater had its final curtain call in August when the City demolished the building. The North Beach theater, more than a century old and originally a home to vaudeville shows, was sacrificed to make way for the City to use it as a location to bring up the massive machines that bore the tunnels for the new Central Subway.
After the City is finished with the site in two years, the owner reportedly will be constructing a building with condominiums on the location, which will also include a restaurant and parking.
