The Forest Theatre was located on Garrison Boulevard at the corner of Liberty Heights Avenue, this was probably Barry Levinson’s neighborhood theatre. The Forest Park Theatre opened on December 22, 1919 and closed on May 13, 1961. It has beautiful brick work adorning the front facade of the theatre.
The Forest Theatre takes up almost the entire block in a neighborhood that is known to many as the “Diner Crew” area. The old theatre, like many other old Baltimore theatres, has since been used since as a church. There was even a mini marquee at the rear of the theatre.

A Moller organ Opus 2780 Size 2/10 was installed in the Forest Theater in 1919 at a cost of $3100.00. This theater should have an aka name of Forest Park Theater.
This website has photos of the Forest Theater.
Address should be 3300 Garrison Boulevard. The latter is misspelled.
If I was to believe Google, it lists a BP gas station at 3300 Garrison Blvd. Baltimore, MD 21216
I forgot the Link.
Forget the link in the previous comment. It only shows the BP gas station if and when it has the highest or lowest gas prices on a given day. It had the lowest price for premium gas when the link was posted and thats why it appeared on the list.
I looked at a satellite photo for this area and this building was still standing. The block forms a triangle with the gas station located on the corner of Garrison Boulevard and Berwyn Avenue. This building is adjacent to the gas station. Anyone in the area know if the address of 3300 Garrison Boulevard belongs to the gas station or to the former theater.

You probably already know this, but I just saw this page. The address is now 3306 Garrison. It probably changed because it was originally the first building on the block and/or the building where the gas station is faced the other street. Either way, great building! Btw, the architect was the son of the Glidden Varnish/Paint founder.
