The Morris A. Mechanic Theatre, which has drawn praise as one of downtown Baltimore's most significant works of 20th-century architecture, is known as a symbol of urban renewal and for the way its highly sculpted exterior reflected the spaces inside. The 1967 building at Baltimore and Charles streets has also been criticized as a less-than-stellar example of urban design, for "turning its back" on Charles Street and presenting a fortresslike shell when not in use. For city leaders seeking to revitalize the dormant property, the conflicting images pose a design challenge: Can the owners retain the building in a way that will please preservationists while adding uses that correct its urbanistic shortcomings?

"They're either best buddies or they're yelling at each other.
