Studio 54

Studio 54 was a disco on 54th Street in Manhattan. 
It first opened as an opera house in 1927. Fifteen years later, it became a radio and TV studio. under the name Studio 52. Then, in 1977, Steve Rubell and Ian Shrager bought the property, and opened it as a disco. It mostly catered to celebrities, and anyone else who could afford it.
Unfortunately, it closed and reopened several times before closing for good in February 1980. Rubell and Shrager were found guilty of tax evasion, and served prison sentences. Today, it's a theater and recording studio.
Despite the closure, the legacy lived on thanks to the 1998 movie 54, starring Mike Myers, and the documentary film Studio 54.
