The old Lubin's Theatre building still stands
today, used now as a show bar. The entire block of
400 East Baltimore Street has been converted in
show bars, and has an international reputation for
it's shows. Known as " The Block ", all the old
movie houses in this block have been " converted "
into show bas, or have been torn down. Just down
the street was the Rivoli Theatre, long since torn
down, and across the street is the Gayety Theatre. |
Just about the
time that movies began to appear in Nickelodeons,
this
photo was taken. The 400 block of East Baltimore
Street
was where much of the early theatre activity was
in
Baltimore. A fire in late 2010 seemed to have all
but
destroyed the building, but besides gutting it,
the
building still stands and is under renovation. |
