The Olive Opera House in Ossining, New York opened in 1874, replacing a similar building that burned down. It showed movies from 1914 until 1938. Today there is a nice, recently opened, bookstore on the first floor. The current owners have plans to turn the building into a studio/gallery/performance space.
This is a reunion of immigrants from Sassinoro, Italy. Many of them went to live in Ossining, New York, so I'm pretty sure the photo was taken in Ossining. I would guess the photo is from the 1940's. Would appreciate any help in identifying the place and the date.
My grandfather is the one holding his hat in the second row, at about the center of the photo.
The circa 1841 Croton Aqueduct above and the 1861 Broadway street bridge below in Ossining, New York.
"The Ossining Weir Chamber, located on the
Ann Street side of the Double Arch Bridge
promenade, is one of six such structures
located along the Old Croton Aqueduct. The
purpose of the weir chambers was to regulate the
flow of water along the aqueduct tunnel, allowing
water to be emptied into local waterways in the
event of flooding or when needed for maintenance
and repair of the tunnel. The weir chambers also
served as ventilators for the aqueduct system.
Inside the weir chamber is a large iron sluice
gate, the opening of which allowed water to drain
out of the tunnel into the Sing Sing Kill below.
When all of the weir chambers were opened,
the entire aqueduct could be drained in just two
hours. Today, the Ossining Weir Chamber is a
component of the Old Croton Aqueduct State
Historic Park. The organization “Friends of the
Croton Aqueduct” conducts periodic tours of the
Weir Chambers for the public, granting interested
parties access to the inside of the weir chamber
and aqueduct tunnel." (from thevillageofossining.org)

Practicing in B&W.... I really love this little corner of paradise and seeing it blanketed so prettily in snow. I wanted to get the shot right to share with a friend of Sally's (90++,well. we don't tell....), so I took it in color too...
