Brooklyn Tabernacle moves into the former Loew's Metropolitan Theatre on Smith Street
In 2002 the evangelical church, home of the Grammy-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir directed by Carol Cymbala, moved to 17 Smith Street, the former Loew's Metropolitan Theatre. The old vaudeville house was gutted and rebuilt for worship by Kostow Greenwood Architects and Robert Silman Associates, with state-of-the-art acoustics and recording equipment. The sanctuary seats 3,300, and two neighboring buildings were converted into offices, classrooms, community areas and dining space.
