The theatre opened in 1915 as the Gertrude McCoy Theatre, named after the silent film actress. Apparently she had fallen out of fashion by 1927 as the name was changed to the Fulton Theatre that year.
The Fulton Theatre closed on March 2, 1952 but is still standing and looks to be in great shape. The Fulton is a great example of early movie house design, with the front facade as a giant arch flanked on each side by Ionic pillars.
The old Fulton Theatre still has the supports for the vertical marquee. The theatre was converted into a food market, but like as many other Baltimore theatres, since 1973 it has been used as a church.
Above the old marquee and along the top of the theatre the heads of the lions and gothic figures still remain intact today.

This theater was also known as the McCoy Theater. Photos and some old ads can be seen here.
Here are about sixty photos of a fire in July, but it wasn’t clear to me if the fire was in 2007 or 2008. In any event, the current status of the building is in question.
