Property Features
2017: Architect Henry C. Hengels designed this building and it was built by contractor Sylvester J. Wabisczewski. Known as the Juneau Building, it was completed in 1910 and housed retail and office space, as well as the Juneau Vaudeville Theater with seating for 1,200. As early as 1923, the building was home of several cultural organizations including the Polish National Alliance, the Polish Young People’s Alliance and the Polish Federation of America – these organizations would remain here into the 1960s. Occupying the building’s various offices were physicians, lawyers, real estate agents, dentists and the New England School of Music. The theater eventually was converted to showing movies and closed in 1965. In 1981, the theater interior was removed as part of a condominium conversion project.
