Senator Theatre

Location

5904 York Road, Baltimore, MD 21212

The Senator Theatre is an icon in Baltimore’s and one of the city’s few historic landmarks on both its exterior and interior. In 2014, Baltimore Heritage honored the restoration of the Senator Theatre with a Preservation Project Award.

The work on this 1939 building included restoring the main auditorium, the wonderful lobby with its terrazzo floor and wood paneling, and the original cinema tapestry mural, which was removed, repaired, and reaffixed in its original location. With three new additional movie auditoriums added and updated projection equipment throughout, the work has restored a Baltimore gem and given it life for years to come.
