SUMMARY:A Spy in the Neighborhood of Charles Village (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Alger Hiss\, a native Baltimorean\, was a government official accused of spying for the Soviet Union In one of the most spectacular Cold War era trials in the U.S.\, Hiss was convicted of perjury. Hiss’s accuser was Whittaker Chambers\, a confessed Communist Spy turned Conservative Republican. \nRegardless of what conclusions the reader reaches from the mountain of evidence and the books that have been written about the Alger Hiss case\, much of the narrative by Whittaker Chambers may have been composed in a modest house in Charles Village\, 2610 St. Paul Street\, a typical example of detached domestic architecture in Baltimore often overlooked by architectural historians. \nPresenting is Ed Papenfuse\, retired Maryland State Archivist and Chair of the Baltimore City Historical Society Board. Ed is also a member of the BAF Dead Architects Society where he has been working with the committee on establishing a Wiki for Maryland’s architectural history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Vernacular Churches (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Along with its famous\, architecturally distinguished churches\, Baltimore retains many lesser-known but architecturally and socially interesting church buildings. Some are modest\, simple structures\, some are grander\, and probably all of them have been ignored when we think about Baltimore’s architectural heritage. If we stop to look at them\, however\, we see the evidence of Baltimore’s spatial and population growth in the years before the Civil War. They tell a tale of geographic and social mobility\, changing tastes\, and even theological change. You can see all this\, if you know what you’re looking at. \nMichael S. Franch\, Ph.D.\, is a historian\, board member and past president of the Baltimore City Historical Society\, He is especially interested in Baltimore urban growth and religious community in the early 19th century. \nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Restoring the Hawley-Hutzler House (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the grand Victorian 8\,000 square foot Hawley-Hutzler Mansion went on the market. The mansion was once the home of the Hutzlers\, who owned the famous department store of the same name. The mansion has gone through significant alterations since it was built in 1887\, including being converted to offices\, and in the 1970s\, split up into apartments. Needless to say\, there would be a lot of work to do to restore this mansion to its former grandeur. \nArchitect Ward Bucher\, AIA of Encore Sustainable Architects will be presenting. He and his wife Lisa Harley Johnson have taken up the task of renovating the mansion — the ultimate historic preservation passion project. We will hear about the interesting history of the home and its previous residents\, and the restoration work currently underway. \nTo learn more about the mansion and the restoration work\, take a look at the blog Ward and Lisa began. And see an interactive 3D model of the home here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Disrupting Lines: The Career and Legacy of Victorine Adams (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Prior to the processing of her archival collection at Morgan State University\, Victorine Adams remained obscured behind the imposing notoriety of her husband\, William “Little Willie” Adams. Yet she led a remarkable life and was the first African American woman elected to the Baltimore City Council in 1967. Adams also created two organizations\, participated in philanthropic endeavors\, mentored young women and maintained an impeccable reputation and social life. She was a self-assured woman aware of the distortion that surrounded her race\, gender and class in Baltimore. Join Morgan State’s University Archivist Dr. Ida E. Jones to see how Victorine Adams’ “compassionate conviction” compelled her to organize\, raise her voice and run for public office in service to the masses of underserved people in her hometown of Baltimore. \nIda E. Jones is an American historian and author who is the University Archivist at Morgan State University\, the first archivist in the university’s history. Her work has focused on DC and Baltimore-area African American history\, letting the voices and lived experiences of people tell their stories. She has published four books: The Heart of the Race Problem: The Life of Kelly Miller (2011)\, Mary McLeod Bethune in Washington\, D.C. (2013)\, William Henry Jernagin in Washington\, D.C. (2016) and Baltimore Civil Rights Leader: Victorine Quille Adams (2019). \n  \nAbout This Event: \n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Rash Field: A Park for All of Baltimore (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Shaping public space comes with a special responsibility. Architects\, planners\, and designers must examine the impacts—both positive and negative—of public improvements on all members of a community and be intentional about how their efforts can create better experiences for all\, today and tomorrow. \nWith a commitment to crafting equitable and collaboratively-designed projects\, Mahan Rykiel Associates approached the redesign of Rash Field Park with intention and sensitivity. By first examining the context and histories around Baltimore’s Rash Field Park and the surrounding Inner Harbor\, then deploying a many-layered engagement strategy that prioritized outreach to underserved and underrepresented communities\, Mahan Rykiel Associates was able to set the stage for shaping Rash Field as a public space for all people—a park that could be enjoyed by visitors\, but\, first and foremost\, a park that would be cherished\, celebrated\, and enjoyed by the neighbors and residents of Baltimore City. \nSince its conceptualization in the Inner Harbor 2.0 masterplan\, Rash Field has been through multiple design iterations—each pushing the boundaries\, vision\, and ambitions for how Rash Field could be transformed into an amenity-packed\, engaging\, and activated space. Within its 3 acres\, the revitalized Rash Field features an Adventure Playground\, Nature Playground\, Skateboard Park\, Shade Lawn\, a Pavilion (designed by Gensler)\, and an ‘Instagramable’ overlook facing Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Shipwrecks of Curtis Bay (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Did you know there is a ship graveyard in Baltimore’s Curtis Creek? Join us for a talk by Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist\, Dr. Susan Langley\, to discover the submerged and hidden vessels off of Hawkins Point! Although known mostly as the home of the U.S. Coast Guard since 1897\, the bustling waterfront industries of Curtis Bay and Creek have long included shipyards and other maritime businesses. So it’s not unusual that these waters contain a disproportionate number of scrapped and abandoned vessels. What is surprising is the nature and histories of many of these watercraft\, which include mid-19th century schooners to the last passenger steamers operating as recently as 1963. \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nDr. Susan Langley lectures internationally on a broad range of subjects including maritime archaeology\, textile technology\, piracy\, and the archaeology and present practices of bees and beekeeping globally. Although her “day-job” is Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist directing the Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program for more than 25 of its 30 years\, she is also the beekeeper for the hive at Government House in Annapolis. Dr. Langley is an adjunct professor at several colleges and universities\, where she teaches underwater archaeology and the history and anthropology of piracy. She also taught maritime archaeology in Thailand for several years through UNESCO. She is a Master SCUBA diver instructor\, judges Maryland’s History Day competition\, and lectures and leads expeditions for Zegrahm Expeditions. \n  \nAbout this event \n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Baltimore Deco: Architectural Optimism in the Interwar Years (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This talk will consider how an international design movement\, Art Deco\, found its way into Baltimore during the 1920s and ’30s. Fueled by a robust manufacturing sector\, the city became fertile ground for a wide-ranging architecture that mixed freely with the prevailing design trends of the day (albeit leaning toward the traditional); an important representative of America’s major industrial cities in the interwar years. Lesser-known examples of Baltimore Deco will be shared\, and the talk will also highlight a few optimistic building projects undertaken in the midst of the Great Depression. \n  \nAbout the Presenter: \nMelissa Blair is a history professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and studies the history of architecture\, landscapes\, and material culture. She is co-author with Richard Striner of Washington and Baltimore Art Deco: A Design History of Neighboring Cities (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2014). Prior to joining the Department of History\, she worked for more than 15 years as an architectural historian and historic preservationist for a variety of public\, private\, and nonprofit organizations. \n  \nAbout This Event:  \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Remembering Laurel Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Laurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as Baltimore’s first nondenominational cemetery for African Americans. It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum\, including 230 Black Civil War veterans and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. \nIn 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts\, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center\, and home to several businesses. However\, many current patrons and nearby residents have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join Dr. Isaac Shearn of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory. \n  \nAbout Our Presenter \nIsaac Shearn earned his PhD in 2014 at the University of Florida and is an adjunct professor at the Community College of Baltimore County\, University of Baltimore\, and Coppin State University. His research is on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Caribbean and South America\, with a focus on public archaeology\, developing inclusive and participatory methods. His recent efforts have been oriented toward integrating three-dimensional photogrammetric mapping techniques with more traditional archaeological methods. \n  \nAbout This Event \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Society of These Young Men: Black Ship Caulkers in Antebellum Baltimore (Virtual Talk)

SUMMARY:Coming to America: Baltimore’s Immigration History (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Baltimore served as America’s third largest port of entry during the Great Wave of Immigration of 1830 to 1914. In 1868\, the B&O Railroad partnered with the North German Lloyd Company of Bremen\, Germany\, to build and operate a pier for immigrant ships in Locust Point\, where 1.2 million immigrants first set foot on American soil. They included people from all over Europe\, including Germans\, Irish\, Lithuanians\, Czechs\, Poles and Italians\, who established their neighborhoods\, as well as churches\, synagogues\, schools\, cultural and philanthropic institutions\, which eased the transition from their old country to life in America\, and added to the rich diversity of our city.

SUMMARY:Reviving the Royal Theater (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled from June 17! \nAbout this event \nIn honor of the 100th anniversary of the Royal Theater\, we arev hosting a talk on the theater and the work being done to revive this historic community through the insights of three guest speakers. \nAmy Davis will present vintage images of the Royal Theater and few of the other opulent movie palaces in its day looking through a social\, cultural and architectural prism to understand Baltimore’s history. The Royal Theater\, located at 1329 Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore\, first opened in February 1922 as the black-owned Douglass Theatre before changing its name in 1925 to The Royal. It became the most famous theater along West Baltimore City’s Pennsylvania Avenue\, one of a circuit of five such theaters for black entertainment in big cities\, which hosted some of the world’s greatest musical acts and entertainers\, before it was demolished in 1971. \nJames Hamlin\, president and founder of The Royal Theater & Community Heritage Corporation\, will share some of what is being done to preserve\, promote\, and recreate the greatness of the African American Historic West Baltimore Community and Historic Pennsylvania Avenue. In his words: “2-1-2-1-7 on Pennsylvania Avenue and the surrounding community were the epicenters of the African-American [life] in Baltimore. This is a community where Cab Calloway walked. This is where Billie Holiday landed. This is where Thurgood Marshall grew up. This is where every entertainer that you can think of has walked up and down The Avenue and entertained at The Royal Theatre.” \nKathleen Sherrill\, AIA will highlight her work along the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor\, Maryland’s only designated Black Arts and Entertainment District. She firmly believes that architects should challenge themselves to play a key role in improving and supporting Baltimore’s underserved neighborhoods\, guiding communities to invest in themselves and the next generation through ownership. \nAbout the Presenters: \nAmy Davis\, an award-winning photojournalist for the Baltimore Sun\, spent nine years researching and photographing Baltimore’s movie theaters for her book Flickering Treasures: Rediscovering Baltimore’s Forgotten Movie Theaters. Her fine art training from The Cooper Union informs her documentary approach. The book includes rare photos\, combined with Davis’s evocative color photography and poignant reminiscences\, bring a century of movie-going to life. Her photographic work is in the collection of the Hudson River Museum (Yonkers\, NY)\, and has been exhibited at The Brooklyn Museum\, The Jewish Museum of Maryland\, and at Baltimore area galleries. Amy lives in Baltimore near the 1939 Senator Theater\, which helped inspire her book. \nJames W. Hamlin is the Owner and Operator of “The Avenue Bakery” on Pennsylvania Avenue\, celebrating its10th anniversary this past August in offering distinctive homemade rolls\, pastries and beverages promoting and advocating for other black owned businesses to come back to our historic community to make it once again an economic center of our community. He is president and founder of The Royal Theater & Community Heritage Corporation\, a 501©3 non-profit that focuses on this Historic West Baltimore African American Community and the creation of economic development to provide jobs for its youth. \nKathleen Sherrill\, AIA\, NOMA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, founded her firm of SP Arch Inc. in 2005 with former partner Mahendra Parekh (who retired in 2008)\, and offers a broad array of planning\, architectural design\, and landscape architecture services. In 2011\, Kathleen was awarded both Top 100 Minority Business Enterprises in the Mid-Atlantic Region and outstanding alumni by the School of Architecture and Planning at Morgan State University (MSU). The first (and only) African American to serve as president of AIA Baltimore and of AIA Maryland\, she helped establish the local chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) in 2017 and served as its first president. www.spa-corp.com \nAbout this Presentation: \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Historic Amusement Parks of Baltimore (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, July 8th\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage are hosting a Zoom presentation on the Historic Amusement Parks of Baltimore as part of their Virtual Histories Lunchtime Series. Beginning at 1pm\, guest presenter John Coleman will share the rich history of the bygone amusement parks and beach resorts from the 1870s and stretching into the late 20th century that Baltimoreans eagerly traveled to reach by boat\, streetcar\, train\, or automobile. \nViewers will recognize such popular amusement parks as Gwynn Oak\, Carlin’s\, and Tolchester Beach\, but also learn of Riverview Park (as shown in image above from the Baltimore Sun archives). Billed as “The Coney Island of the South\,” Riverview Park featured one of the region’s first roller coasters\, a roller rink and live entertainment. A couple of fires in 1909 and 1915 may have contributed to its demise and it was brought to auction in 1929 to be razed for the Western Electric Co. Cable Factory complex at Point Breeze (between Canton and Dundalk). Be prepared to delight in the stories and historic images of this popular summertime pastime from days of yore. \n  \nAbout Our Presenter \nJohn P. Coleman is author of Historic Amusement Parks of Baltimore: An Illustrated History and is a member of the National Amusement Park Historical Association. He received his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management from the University of Baltimore and currently is a senior software engineer with CSG International. \n  \nAbout This Event \n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Western Electric Company's Point Breeze Plant & the Olmsted Vision (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:The Western Electric Company was founded in 1869 and served for more than 100 years as the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System. Its business and manufacturing activity skyrocketed from increased telephone use at the beginning of the 1900s. The company selected Baltimore as the site of a new cable and wire manufacturing plant due to its proximity to water and rail transportation. The company purchased land along the Patapsco River Neck from the Canton Company and the River View Amusement Park\, with grand plans to develop the site into a large manufacturing campus. To complete a comprehensive plan for the new site at Point Breeze\, the company hired the Olmsted Brothers firm. Between 1928 and 1931\, the Olmsted Brothers prepared at least 263 drawings\, including a comprehensive master plan and detailed landscape plans. Three experts will share their knowledge of this unique collection of buildings and site that was the industrial community to 6\,000 workers in its heyday. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nTom Liebel\, FAIA\, LEED Fellow is a Vice-President with Moseley Architects\, and has been involved in integrating sustainable design principles into a variety of ground-breaking\, award-winning adaptive use and historic preservation projects over the past twenty five years. He wrote the book Industrial Baltimore by Arcadia Publishing in 2006 and continues to explore the relationship between sustainability\, preservation and urban design\, with a particular emphasis in the use of urban adaptive use projects to promote neighborhood revitalization and civic engagement. Tom served for a decade as chair of Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation\, and currently serves on the Maryland Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. \nAlison J. Ross\, M.S. is an architectural historian with extensive documentation and fieldwork experience compiling reports geared towards educating both primary stakeholders and communities at large.

SUMMARY:Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970 (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will highlight the research and documentation undertaken by EHT Traceries during the preparation of the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970. Educational and professional opportunities for women architects were limited throughout much of the twentieth century\, yet pioneering women contributed significantly to the built environment of Maryland. The struggle of women designers to obtain higher education and parity with men forms part of the broader social history of women’s efforts to achieve greater equality within American society. The Multiple Property Documentation Form\, prepared through the Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant program awarded to BAF by the Maryland Historical Trust\, examines the careers of women designers including architects\, landscape architects\, and artists in Maryland who were active between 1920-1970 and situates their stories within this broader national context. The achievements of pioneers such as Gertrude Sawyer\, Chloethiel Woodard Smith\, and Helen Ross Staley helped pave the way for a twenty-first-century architectural profession where women architects are appreciated and celebrated for their contributions. \nThe presentation will examine the early history of women’s involvement in the architectural field\, the educational opportunities available\, and the challenges they faced in establishing their careers. It will also explore the work of women designers active in Maryland during the 1920-1970 period\, representing a wide spectrum of building types\, landscapes\, and public art. In order to place these resources in context\, the presentation will consider the aesthetic\, cultural\, and economic themes that shaped architecture and development in Maryland during the twentieth century\, providing both opportunities and obstacles to women design professionals. \n  \nAbout the presenter \nJohn Gentry is Senior Architectural Historian at EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, a historic preservation consulting firm based in Washington\, D.C. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from DePaul University and a Masters in Historic Preservation from the University of Maryland\, College Park. As an architectural historian and cultural resource management professional\, John is experienced in researching\, documenting\, and assessing historic buildings and landscapes. He has successfully listed individual properties and districts in the National Register of Historic Places and local landmark registries in Maryland\, the District of Columbia\, Virginia\, and several other U.S. states. In addition\, he has completed numerous compliance-driven survey and documentation projects for government agencies\, architects\, and developers. John is a member of the Latrobe Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and the D.C. Preservation League. \n  \nAbout this event \nImage Credit from Cambridge Yacht Club: 1939\, Cambridge Yacht Club \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Life and Work of Architect Poldi Hirsch (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will examine the life and work of Harford County architect Poldi Hirsch\, AIA\, looking at her career as a female architect in Maryland during the 1960s\, her design philosophy and influences\, and her principal works. Born in Germany in 1926\, Poldi Hirsch was one of several European-born or trained architects who practiced in Maryland during the postwar period. Educated in Israel and Switzerland\, Hirsch immigrated to the U.S. with her husband and children in 1953\, eventually settling in Havre de Grace\, where she established an architectural practice. Hirsch focused on residential design\, including multi-family apartment buildings and single-family dwellings\, and her work in Havre de Grace reflects West Coast and European approaches to modernism tempered with an awareness of the social dimension of residential design. The biography of Poldi Hirsch\, who struggled to establish her career in Havre de Grace despite her talent and European architectural training\, is a testament to the perseverance of women architects\, and illustrates the progress made by women for greater gender equality during the twentieth century. \nThe presentation will focus particularly on the Hirsch Family Residence in Havre de Grace\, which was designed by Poldi Hirsch and constructed in 1969-1970. The Hirsch Residence is one of the significant modernist residences designed by Poldi Hirsch in Havre de Grace during the 1960s that embodies the core tenets of the Modern Movement. Hirsch\, and her physician husband\, Gunther Hirsch\, sought to provide a healthier living environment for families through a merger of public health and design\, and her residential designs feature ample natural daylighting\, spatial organization attuned to the needs of working families\, and a merger of the indoor and outdoor experience. The Hirsch Residence displays all of these characteristics\, and its sleek modernist lines\, exterior of California Redwood and locally quarried stone\, and non-traditional fenestration stand apart from other houses in Havre de Grace constructed during the same period.
