In the 1930's and 1940's, North Avenue was considered the northern most boundary of Baltimore City, and development was spread along both sides of the street. Across the street from the Centre Theatre , is the Aurora Theatre, and a little to the West of the Aurora is the Parkway Theatre The Centre was a Art Deco treat, and opened to great fanfare back in the 1930's. The theatre has long since closed, and for years it was the headquarters for WFBR Radio. The building is still in excellent condition, and while the lettering has been removed, the old vertical tower still stands. The entrance has long been sealed. Recently  , there has been talk of bringing the old Centre back, as the Maryland Institute of Art has been looking at the old building.

.........An early photo of the Centre Theatre ( above ), from the late 1930's. The drawing ( below ) was done for a promo of the theatre right before it opened. I'm not sure if the artist mis spelled the name, or if the theatre's name was originally going to be the Center.
