22 East 12th Street was built in 1898 as a firehouse, and since 1963 has been the home of Cinema Village, the oldest continuously operating art house cinema in New York City.

The area is home to a number of significant sites to the history of film, including a large number of current and former movie houses, film producers, and organizations which shaped the course of film history in the United States.
