Ambassador Theater, Art Deco movie theater in Howard Park, Baltimore, United States.
The Ambassador Theater on Liberty Heights Avenue features a ziggurat-like facade organized around two vertical pylons with contrasting horizontal brick striping.
Built in 1935 by F.H. Durkee Enterprises and designed by architect John Jacob Zink, the theater operated as a first-run cinema until its closure in 1968.
The theater transformed through various functions, from a ballroom to a roller rink, beauty school, and church, reflecting the changing needs of Baltimore's community.
The building at 4604 Liberty Heights Avenue will become a community art center by 2025 through Artspace's restoration and development project.
The original design incorporated neon tubing that emphasized the curves of the Streamline Moderne architecture with a capacity of 1,049 seats.
