The burial ground predates the church\, which was built on arches above the gravesites\, so that the graveyard and its tombstones lie both underneath and around the building. We bet you will also recognize more than a few Baltimore street names as we walk among the patriots and civic leaders buried at Westminster including Calhoun\, Hollins\, Gilmore\, and Bentalou. All told\, the compact cemetery next to the University of Maryland School of Law is the final resting place for over 1\,000 individuals. We can’t wait to see you “Where Baltimore’s History Rests in Peace!” URL:https://baltimoreheritage.org/event/the-catacombs-under-westminster-two-hundred-years-of-tombs-and-edgar-allan-poes-gravesite-3/ LOCATION:Westminster Hall and Burying Ground\, 519 W Fayette Street\, Baltimore\, MD\, 21201\, United States CATEGORIES:Behind the Scenes Tours,Tours ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://baltimoreheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Screen-Shot-2020-02-19-at-3.10.56-PM.png ORGANIZER;CN="Baltimore Heritage":MAILTO:info@baltimoreheritage.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200502T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200502T120000 DTSTAMP:20260410T141733 CREATED:20200220T142608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200422T154010Z UID:25180-1588413600-1588420800@baltimoreheritage.org SUMMARY:How to Read a Rowhouse: Colonial Architecture in Fell’s Point DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nWhen you look down Thames Street and smile at how “old-timey” it looks\, what are you really looking at? Join architect David Gleason\, president of the Fell’s Point Preservation Society\, on a walk through the aged neighborhood to learn how to read historic buildings and uncover their unique histories. These houses and businesses have been reinvented and repurposed over 250 years in order to meet the changing economy of Baltimore–what can they tell us about those who lived and worked in Fell’s Point? Join us to “excavate” structures by exploring the layers of construction and change–you never know what you might discover hiding behind the facade! \n  \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours!

Must have help at once!” A tremendous fire was sweeping through downtown and showed little signs of stopping. Not until 5:00 p.m. the next day was the fire brought under control. Overall\, it destroyed 1500 buildings\, left 35\,000 people unemployed\, and damaged $150 million of property. Resilient Baltimore rebounded quickly\, erecting new buildings\, widening streets\, and improving fire safety designs. Rising out of the ashes\, Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city\, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join us as we see what 2500 degrees Fahrenheit heat can do to blocks of solid stone\, learn how the fire shaped architecture locally and across the country\, and hear the tale of one of the fire’s great heroes: Goliath the horse. \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Ridgely’s Delight\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

Even Francis Scott Key spent part of his afterlife in the cemetery buried in the Howard crypt until he was moved to Frederick. Founded around 1799\, Old St. Paul’s is one of the oldest cemeteries in Baltimore City and is on the registry of National Historic Places. Not regularly open to the public\, come with us and tour guide William Hollifield to peek behind its large stone walls and see the final resting places of those who helped shape this city.

John Goucher was overseeing the building of today’s Lovely Lane United Methodist Church in the mid-1880s\, he was also helping establish a college for women to give them “equal advantages in the business of life.” Founded in 1885 as the Woman’s College of Baltimore City (“City” was dropped in 1890)\, it began with a few stone buildings and the spirit to become one of the leading institutions of higher education in the country. The College expanded its campus from 22nd to 24th Streets\, and from Calvert Street to Maryland Avenue to eventually include twenty-six buildings for academics\, physical training\, student life\, and presidents’ homes. In 1910\, the name was changed to Goucher College to honor John and Mary Goucher. \nBy the second decade of the 20th century\, increased traffic and restrictions on expansion led the College to purchase land in Towson in 1921 to create a more open environment for its growing student body. Construction was delayed until the early 1940s\, and Goucher maintained two campuses until its final move in 1954\, after selling its downtown buildings to various individuals and organizations.  \nJoin Marilyn Warshawsky\, author of John Franklin Goucher: Citizen of the World and a trustee emerita of the College\, at Lovely Lane for a tour of this historic church\, a presentation of archival photos of original college buildings\, and a walking tour of the campus that is now part of the diverse community known as Old Goucher.  \n  \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours!

Ralph Waldo Emerson also dubbed it “the gastronomic capital of the world.” \nDuring the tour\, we will visit Faidley’s\, Berger’s\, 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!

The breweries were home to the Gunther\, Shaefer\, Hamm\, and of course Natty Boh labels\, and was where the nation’s first “six pack” was invented in the 1940s. The 27 acre brewery site is surrounded by the Brewers Hill neighborhood\, which developed between 1915 and 1920 and is replete with rows of brick homes and marble steps. Join David Knipp\, a project manager for the redevelopment of the Brewers Hill complex\, on a tour of the brewery site in all of its beer-making glory and current buzz of activity. \n  \nExplore all five of our spring Baltimore by Foot walking tours!
