SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Industrial Roots: A Tour of the Parker Metal Decorating Company Building
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919 by Edwin Augusts Parker\, the Parker Metal Decorating Company specialized in metal lithography: printing designs directly onto metal sheets. Edwin came to Baltimore from New York to join the growing number of lithographers located near the harbor. Among other things\, he invented a process that allowed lithographers to use more precise dimpled metal sheets (rather than the standard stone) to hold ink during the printing process. With more than a little success\, Parker’s stamped metal sheets went on to be made into tin food cans that were streaming out of Baltimore’s canneries at the time\, as well as other products like wastebaskets and advertising signs. The company also had plants in New York\, Cleveland\, Chicago and Toronto that similarly turned out stamped metal products for things like candy tins and matching kitchen storage containers.  \nParker moved into the building on West Ostend Street in 1921\, and produced the cans for Twinings Tea and Old Bay Seasonings from here. The firm continued until a larger metal stamping company\, U.S. Can\, entered the specialty lithography market and undercut its prices. The Baltimore plant and the company closed in 1994. Today\, Himmelrich Associates has turned the former metal lithography plant into funky offices and event spaces that retain the building’s manufacturing history. Please join us and Mr. Sam Himmelrich\, the building’s owner and redeveloper\, to see and learn a little about Baltimore’s industrial past through this great adaptive reuse project.  \nOur Baltimore Behind the Scenes Tours program has been funded by Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Federal Hill Beyond the Views: Monumental City Tour
DESCRIPTION:Baltimoreans celebrated atop Federal Hill when we ratified the U.S. Constitution.

SUMMARY:Factory Tour of Fashions Unlimited: A Renaissance in Baltimore’s Garment Industry
DESCRIPTION:In response to the strong interest in our tour of Fashions Unlimited last year\, we are repeating a tour of this Baltimore garment factory in action. Since its founding in 1976\, Fashions Unlimited has been manufacturing clothing from its South Baltimore factory and is going as strongly today as ever. With sewing machines and a skilled workforce of designers\, cutters\, and sewers\, it produces a range of products from bathing suits for start-up businesses to sportswear for Fila\, Nike\, and Champion. The company even makes jackets for Mt. Everest climbers and high-tech jerseys for European soccer leagues so that coaches can monitor everything in real time from a player’s heartbeat to her waning acceleration in the second half of the game. \nPlease join us and company founder Phil Spector on a tour of the Fashions Unlimited factory in action and learn how “Made in the USA” is happening here in Baltimore. (P.S.\, Our tour is indeed at 8:30 am. The factory is in production from 6:30 am until 2:30 p.m. and we wanted to do our tour when it is in full swing.) \nOur Behind the Scenes Tours are made possible by a grant from Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young 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:Celebrate National Coming Out Day on a LGBTQ Heritage Walking Tour in Charles Village!
DESCRIPTION:Although we’re technically a day late\, we hope you can help us and our partner Preservation Maryland celebrate National Coming Out Day with a LGBT heritage walking tour in Charles Village! \nAlthough Charles Village is better known for its colorful “painted ladies\,” the neighborhood was home to many activists and institutions at the heart of the city’s LGBT community in the 1970s and 1980s. Guides Richard Oloizia\, Shirley Parry\, Louis Hughes and Kate Drabisnki will take us on a walk past local landmarks from the original home of the Gay Community Center of Baltimore\, now the GLCCB\, to the St. Paul Street church that supported the growth of the Metropolitan Community Church\, Baltimore’s oldest LGBT religious organization\, and the radical feminist writers and publishers that gave a voice to lesbian authors who might not otherwise have been read.  \nWe’ll end the tour at Peabody Heights Brewery where you supply the conversation and we will supply a pizza lunch.  \nThis tour is the second in a two-part LGBT heritage program made possible by funding from PNC and supported in part by Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust.

SUMMARY:Today’s Solution to an Age-Old Problem: Inside the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Great 1904 Fire\, Baltimore had two pressing tasks: rebuild downtown and get on board with other European and American cities in developing a functioning sewage system. Both were critical if the city was to continue to grow\, and luckily for all of us coming after this defining moment\, Baltimoreans of the day successfully accomplished both.  \nThe Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant was completed in 1940 and supplemented the earlier Eastern Avenue facility at the Inner Harbor that was finished in 1912. The Patapsco plant\, sited at the very tip of the Brooklyn and Curtis Bay peninsula\, beat out competing ideas on how to treat Baltimore’s waste\, including pumping it into the middle of the Chesapeake Bay (Maryland’s oystermen were adamantly opposed) and shipping it to a facility in Anne Arundel County (too expensive). When the facility was completed\, it could handle 5 million gallons of sewage a day\, an amount that the city quickly exceeded. After years of planning\, the plant was dramatically expanded in 1985 to handle 63 million gallons daily\, and today serves nearly half a million people in Baltimore City as well as Baltimore\, Howard\, Anne Arundel Counties.  \nPlease  join us as we take a tour of this fascinating facility that has its roots in the 1904 Fire and today uses state-of-the-art technology to handle a problem as old as the city itself.

SUMMARY:Psychedelics\, Traitors and Treatments: The Unexpected Past of Spring Grove Hospital Center
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Leary’s got nothing on Baltimore! Join us for a walk around the Spring Grove Hospital Center campus to see this partially abandoned historic facility where\, among other things\, the first and longest government-run psychedelic drug research program took place. Here\, scientists tested LSD and other chemicals as potential treatments for psychiatric illnesses until national controversy caught up with everybody and the research was shut down in 1976.  \nSpring Grove has a history far deeper than the experimental 1960s. Founded in 1797\, it is the second oldest continuously operating psychiatric hospital in the country. Before the Civil War\, free and enslaved African Americans were also patients here. Later it became a whites-only facility. Today\, Spring Grove treats around 300 patients\, a fraction of its 1960 population. And there is again a psychiatric illness research facility in the same building where the LSD experiments once occurred.  \nOn our tour\, we’ll see the remnants of the oldest building on campus\, industrial structures from the 1930s\, plus a barely noticeable cemetery. Join us and our guide Paul Lubell as we walk through three centuries of history that weaves together tales of yellow fever epidemics\, Confederate traitors\, and psychedelic scandal. Groovy.  \n

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:Reading a Renovation: A Tour of the Pratt’s Updated Central Library with Architect Sandra Vicchio
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. We are working on adding more tours. Please check back for additional information. Thank you! \n\nAfter three years of construction\, the $115 million renovation project at the Pratt Central Library is complete and the work is stunning. Join us as we get to tour the library and learn about its restoration with the project’s consulting architect\, Sandra Vicchio. \nIn 1882\, Enoch Pratt gave a whopping $1 million gift to Baltimore City to launch the nation’s first free library system\, proclaiming\, “My library shall be for all\, rich and poor without distinction of race or color.” Today\, the 1933 Central Library serves more than half a million people each year and with the newly completed whole-building restoration campaign\, will now do so in gorgeously restored spaces. Carpenters removed dropped ceilings to reveal fabulous stenciling\, artists restored decorative molding that was damaged in prior renovations\, and lighting experts created new lighting that is historically appropriate and makes the rooms feel light and airy. Whether you last visited the Central Library a week ago or a decade ago\, we hope you can join us and Ms. Vicchio to learn about (and gawk at) our newly restored piece of civic pride.

SUMMARY:Up into the Clockworks at the Bromo Seltzer Tower
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. We are working on adding more tours. Please check back for additional information. Thank you! \n\nAlways one for flamboyance\, Captain Isaac Emerson came back from a trip to Italy and decided he wanted to build a new factory in downtown Baltimore and that it should look like Florence’s fabulous town hall\, the Palazzo Vecchio. Completed in 1911\, the tower’s four clocks each measure 24 feet across\, a foot more London’s Big Ben\, and the tower itself was the tallest building in Baltimore at the time. Emerson\, the man who became wealthy from his invention of Bromo Seltzer and gave us the slogan “if you keep late hours for society’s sake\, Bromo Seltzer will cure that headache\,” was quite proud. \nOur tour through the building will include a trip up the ships stairs into the clockworks at the top to look at the tick-tock operation in process and peer out the translucent windows. We’ll also stop in at the museum room that holds the world’s largest collection ephemera from Captain Emerson\, Bromo Seltzer\, and Maryland Glass. And along the way\, we’ll get a taste of the newest art that comes from the Tower’s artists: it is now home to dozens of local art studios. If you’ve wondered what goes on in the Bromo Seltzer Tower and how the imposing clocks actually work\, now’s your chance!
