The building that one housed the Meserole Theatre has been demolished. After closing as a cinema it became the Greenpoint Roller Palace from 1979-1986. After briefly serving as a discount store, the former theatre was an Eckerd Drug/Rite Aid, 1990-2020. An unsuccessful attempt was made to save the building.

Moving Picture World, November 12, 1921:
“The Meserole opened October 25, with the latest Power’s Type-E projectors and
equipment as fine as money could buy. The house seats about 2,700 and the
opening announcement of the management is interesting enough to warrant repetition.
‘There has been but one thought in the minds of the management of the Meserole
Theatre—to present the finest productions of cinema-art, in deluxe surroundings
at a price within the reach of all.’”
