Though the Brooklyn Lyceum has already sold to a developer in a foreclosure auction and that developer has announced plans to turn it into condos, the former owner who lost control of the historic building isn't giving up the fight yet. He still has appeals ongoing in federal and state courts, and told Brooklyn Eagle, "In the end, the community will have a richer more dynamic cultural fabric in the area if the grievances of this lawsuit are addressed and the Lyceum remains a theater and event space [instead of] allow[ing] it to become an uninspired anonymous condo eyesore that supports one business as opposed to an entire community."
