Center44 Presents "The Shout Out" Archives

Center44′s Shout Out “The Last Shout”

October 29, 2012 – 8:39 am

The Last Shout

Dear All,

We’ve recently learned that, after 40 years, our landlord has lost the lease on The Creative Arts Building at 222 East 44th Street, Center44‘s home for the past 7 years. Apparently, our 1904 building will be torn down to make way for a high-rise hotel. Such is the way of real estate in Manhattan – and Midtown in particular.

So, with a lump in our throats, we announce the closing of Center44′s doors on November 30th, 2012.

Those of you who’ve known us since our formative days in Harlem as Lafayette Antiques at the Warehouse are aware we’ve been down this road before. Center44 is the result of that building becoming a Manhattan Mini-Storage in 2005. We look upon this current travail the same way we did then – a challenge and opportunity to reinvent ourselves.

So, with the tremendous support of our dealers, clients, staff and friends, we’ve picked up the gauntlet yet again and have already begun the process of locating our new home.

In the meantime, we want to say thank you to everyone who ever walked through our doors (both real and virtual). We cannot express how much we’ve enjoyed being of service to so many of you. We also extend a special thanks to the folks at EUE Screen Gems for providing the serendipity that made our vision a reality.

This will be the last Shout Out for the time being. But it will still be business as usual at Center44 until the end of November.

We’d like to leave you with a song. It’s called “Move in the Right Direction.”

Because that’s the plan.
