THE BEEKMAN STREET THEATER.

In 1761 Douglass returned to New York, and abandoning the theater upon

Cruger’s Wharf, erected one in Beekman street, a few doors below Nassau

street. This was torn down in a riot in 1764. Three years after, the

theater in John street, between Nassau street and Broadway, was built,

which continued to be the principal one until the erection of the old

Park Theater in 1797.[4]
