THE CHARLES
THEATRE The
only theatre of its kind in
Baltimore, The Charles has the
unique distinction of offering
first-run specialty films in
addition to Hollywood movies,
foreign films and cinema classics.
The 1150-seat, 23,000 square-foot
movie house is
located in one of Charles
Street's most intriguing historic
buildings.
The 108-year-old
structures which house The Charles
boast a rich history. Designed in
1892 by architect Jackson C. Gott
for the Baltimore Traction Company,
the Beaux-Arts buildings were
originally designed to be a cable
car barn (north side) and a
powerhouse (south side). The
buildings served as cable car
facilities for four years after
which they became a streetcar barn,
a bus barn, a library for the blind,
and the Famous Ballroom. In 1939,
the Times Theatre opened on the site
as Baltimore's first all-newsreel
movie house. The theater was
re-named the Charles circa 1959 and
became a calendar revival house in
1979. The Charles remained a
single-screen theater until 1999,
when a dramatic
expansion was completed to
accommodate four additional
screening rooms. The new five-screen
Charles has a spacious, comfortable
lobby and the four new screening
rooms have stadium seating. The
original auditorium still has 485
seats and has been altered only
slightly.
