A pastor watched a movie.
Then he asked to buy the theater.
After watching a film at New York's 175th Street Theatre in 1969, Reverend Ike was taken with the building and asked to buy it so he could move in the next day. He purchased it that year, renamed it the United Palace and made it the base for his church.
The next act belonged
to the building itself.
