Club Velocity

Before it was a nightclub, the building at Stillwell Avenue and the Bowery was a stage where, the Historic Districts Council said, Harpo Marx first performed with his brothers¹. Fred Henderson had opened it around 1900 as a three-story brick music hall, and from 1926 to 1984 it housed the World of Wax Musee¹.

In 2007 Velocity had the second floor, on the Bowery side¹. It stayed until Thor Equities bought the building and evicted it¹.

By April 2010 Thor had announced plans to tear the Henderson down and put up a one-story shopping mall¹. Demolition of the Henderson and the Bank of Coney Island buildings began that October, expected to take 40 days².

By 2015 the address, 3015 Stillwell Avenue, was a shop called Brooklyn Rock, in Thor's new retail building³.
