Recher Theatre was a concert venue in Towson, Maryland. It was located at 512 York Road in the building previously operated as the Towson Theatre, a one-screen movie theater. The Towson Theatre was designed by architect John Ahlers of the George Norbury MacKenzie III architectual firm. It cost $100,000 to build and opened on March 1, 1928. After the theatre closed it was sold to the Recher family in the 1950s. The Rechers converted it into an upscale billiard parlor. The building was later transformed into The Recher Theater, a concert venue, which opened in 1999.
