GreenLantern

The Green Lantern building, 1585 Barrington Street, was built in 1986, says the pediment. This building housed numerous gay bars and other businesses in the '70s. Click on the page title (between the banner and the picture) to see all the pages which mention it. At the time, the old Paramount Theatre was next door.

NilsClausson writes: this was the hub of the gay scene not only because of TheeClub run by DavidGray, but also because it had five small apartments on the second floor all occupied by gay men, including me and Dave and TommyBurns and TommyMiller, as well as others.

TomBurns also briefly operated a gay book store on the top floor of the GreenLantern Building in about 1974-75. I also remember TommyMiller, who lived in the GreenLantern Building and was a leading DQ.
