SUMMARY:From Chagall to Chad: African Art and Judaica at Historic Madison House
DESCRIPTION:When Paul Scott Rhodes purchased the elegant (and enormous) mansion at 4 East Madison Street in Mt. Vernon three years ago\, the physician and hotelier knew that it was perfect for his extensive collection of African art and pieces from his collection of Jewish artists\, including several signed works in Marc Chagall’s Bible series. Join us and Dr. Rhodes as we peek through the wonderfully restored historic building and learn from the owners’ collection of African art and Judaica along the way. \n4 East Madison Street\, now a bed and breakfast\, dates to the early 1850s as a private residence that in the early 20th century became the country’s first orthopedic clinic. Under the direction of the renowned Hopkins orthopedic surgeon William Steven Baer\, patients getting help for their bones here included Franklin Roosevelt\, John Kennedy\, Katherine Hepburn\, Errol Flynn and countless others. Now restored back to its historic grandeur\, the mansion includes period chandeliers\, vintage William Morris wall coverings\, Persian carpets\, as well as African ritual objects\, etchings\, lithographs and an extensive Judaica collection. The tour will include wine and cheese. \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Tuscany-Canterbury by Foot: The Masterworks of Architect Clyde Nelson Friz
DESCRIPTION:Architect Clyde Nelson Friz may be be known for the Beaux Arts designs of his later works—the Pratt Library Central Branch and The Scottish Rite Temple (both begun in 1928)—but he was already a self-made man when he arrived in Baltimore right before the turn of the century. He found plenty of demand for his trade after Baltimore’s Great Fire of 1904 and the burgeoning residential growth of the city as it pushed into the surrounding farmlands. One such area was the Tuscany-Canterbury neighborhood—a 90-acre residential treasure\, just north of Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus\, celebrating its centennial this year. \nFriz was deeply involved in helping to form the character of the neighborhood\, where he lived and designed its architecture over several decades (between the 1910s and the 1930s)\, drawing from such Revival styles as Half-Timbered Tudor\, Italian Renaissance\, and the Mediterranean. Few may know of these tucked away projects today\, but at the time\, Friz received numerous accolades through national architectural publications. \nJoin us on a walking tour to explore some of Baltimore’s most significant apartment houses. Our tour guides are Jillian Storms\, AIA\, who has been studying Clyde Friz’s life and grew up in the neighborhood\, and Baltimore historian Charlie Duff. The tour will begin at The Scottish Rite Temple and include The Tuscany\, The Lombardy\, and The Gardens of Guilford. We’ll be treated to a peek inside numerous apartments\, including the maids quarters that made this genteel living possible in its day. \nPlease note: This tour will involve hilly terrain and stairs. The apartment houses on this tour do not have elevators. \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours. Our Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Union Square by Foot: What Would H. L. Mencken Think of Summer Concerts & Window Boxes
DESCRIPTION:Built on the former estate of Baltimore’s second mayor\, Thorowgood Smith\, beginning in the 1840s\, Union Square was The Place to live for a new burgeoning class of lawyers\, doctors and other professionals. “Millionaire’s Row” ran along Stricker Street adjacent to the park and nearby Hollins Market (the city’s oldest standing public market building) bustled with activity. \nToday\, with concerts in the park in the summertime\, a significant uptick in rehab activity\, and the imminent start to reopening H.L. Mencken’s home on the Square\, Union Square has a vibrant feel. Join long-time resident and Baltimore historian professor Betsy Nix on a walking tour to  learn about the history of this gorgeous neighborhood and how its historic architecture is helping to fuel a rebirth.  \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours. Our Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Begun in the early 1800s on land donated by John Eager Howard\, Baltimore’s iconic Lexington Market holds the title as the oldest market in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, Konstant’s Candy\, and other vendors that have been in their stall for a century or more. We will also explore the catacombs under the marketplace. Rediscovered in 1951 during the construction of a parking garage\, the origins of these tunnels and vaults are mysterious. Were they used for cold storage before refrigeration? Did they house distilleries during Prohibition? We may not get the definitive answer\, but we’ll at least get a first-hand look at these spaces that are normally closed to the public. \nBe sure to bring your canvas bags to do some quintessential Baltimore shopping afterward. And while 10:30 am may seem early for a Saturday morning\, at least we’re not lining up when the historic starting bell would ring in the new market day at 2:00 am!

SUMMARY:Pennsylvania Avenue by Foot: A Rising Black Arts and Entertainment District
DESCRIPTION:Pennsylvania Avenue has long been a center for Baltimore’s arts and entertainment scene. Virtually every famous entertainer of the day played here: Bill Holliday\, Redd Foxx\, Cab Calloway\, to name just a few. Today Pennsylvania Avenue is on its way to being the newest designated Arts and Entertainment District and would be the city’s only one focusing on black artists. The arts designation will help spur ongoing revitalization. \nRecently\, National Geographic awarded the Arch Social Club (founded in 1912) over $100\,000\, and state investments have resulted in facade improvement along many blocks. Join us and our guides who have been leading the effort to get Pennsylvania Avenue designated as an Arts and Entertainment District as we walk through “The Avenue” exploring its history and its future.   \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours. Our Baltimore By Foot Tours program has been funded by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Mount Vernon Place and the Washington Monument: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Mount Vernon began as a country estate for Revolutionary War hero John Eager Howard and grew to be the place to live for Baltimore’s rich and famous in the mid-nineteenth century. The Garrett family\, owners of the B&O Railroad\, the Walters\, founders of the Walters Art Museum\, and the Thomases\, owners of Mercantile Bank\, are among the families that built handsome mansions along the four parks that surround the Washington Monument. The recent renovations to the two-hundred-year-old Washington Monument are the latest news from the revival of this historic neighborhood over the last decade. \nJoin us on a tour to hear the stories behind the Washington Monument and see the landmarks of Baltimore’s grandest historic neighborhood.
