The timing of our visit to Baltimore was just about perfect as far as The Senator theatre is concerned. Designed by John J Fink, the theatre opened on Oct 5, 1939 but like so many cinemas and theatres it fell on hard times and eventually closed. It eventually reopened but many of the original fittings had been stripped but then it closed again. This time it was to undertake a major restoration and in October 2013 it reopened.
You'll notice there are blocks in the footpath commemorating the movies that have premiered at The Senator. My personal favourites were a couple of John Waters movies, "Serial Mom" and "Pecker". There are plans to restore these also.
Coming Soon - Lots more interior shots
