The building was commissioned by The City of New York Board of City Magistrates and its architect was Alfred Hopkins.

Built in 1919, it included a complaint room on the first floor, a courthouse on the third floor, with fifteen prison cells on the first and second floors. The facade was composed of brick masonry walls and terra-cotta ornamentation. 1940s Tax Photo courtesy of the NYC Municipal Archives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04c7b0f9a61e44fce0a208/1588872095695-5QH3OORY1HK785M7H6D3/32-Second-Ave-4.jpg BUILDING HISTORY Anthology Film Archives first opened on November 30, 1970 within New York’s Public Theater. Pressed by the need for more adequate space, it acquired the Courthouse building at auction in 1979 for fifty-thousand dollars.

Due to funding constraints, however, Anthology left this for the future. The design would inform the process of devising solutions for today’s expansion design.

It reopened to the public on October 12, 1988.

This project will fulfill a long-standing aspiration to create spaces to support Anthology’s current and future operations that, in part, were not completed in the first conversion of the 1980s.
