    Charles W. Clinton's 1892 warehouse later becomes the Cinematografo Caruso, an Italian-language movie theater

    Charles W. Clinton designed 124 West Houston Street in 1892 for the Wolfe Estate as a six-story Romanesque Revival warehouse, with cast-iron storefront piers and round-arched windows on the top floor. Early in the twentieth century the building spent a period as the Cinematografo Caruso, a movie theater showing films in Italian. The Landmarks Commission lists the theater as the building's notable history; the report gives no exact dates for it.
