The Anco was located at 254 W. 42nd St., New York, NY. One of the most infamously nasty grindhouses located off the southeast corner of 42nd street across from the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It was across the street from Harem. The theater was opened in 1904 as the Lew Fields Theater. It featured stageshows until 1930 when it started showing mainstream films. In the mid 1980s it switched over to porno. The building was demolished in 1997.
