The Paramount Theatre (now the Arnold and Marie Schwartz Athletic Center) is a former movie palace located at 1 University Plaza at the intersection of Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues in downtown Brooklyn, New York. Originally opened in 1928, the building has been owned by Long Island University (LIU) since 1962. Converted for use by LIU as classroom space and a gymnasium, the building retains much of the theater's original decorative detail. The venue is now operated as a 1200-seat multi-purpose arena, home to the Brooklyn Kings basketball team.The Paramount Theatre, built in 1928 by Paramount Pictures, was designed by the Chicago theater architect team Rapp and Rapp. The theater was the first designed for talking pictures, or movies with sound. A sister Paramount Theatre was located in Times Square, Manhattan. The rococo-designed theater had 4,084 seats covered in burgundy velvet, with a ceiling painted with clouds. A 60-foot stage curtain was decorated with satin-embroidered pheasants, along with huge chandeliers and fountains with goldfish.
