Studio 54 was located at 254 West 54th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Before becoming a nightclub, the building had served as an opera house. Beginning in 1942, it was also a CBS television recording studio. Studio 54’s owners Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell changed the interior for the club by adding DJ booths and leveling the former stage to make a dance floor. It was closed as a disco for good in 1986.
