Finding the Love: How to Appreciate Baltimore’s Curious Empty Buildings with Architect and Artist Jerome Gray

First Unitarian Church 1 West Franklin Street, Baltimore, United States

From the Modernist Kagro Building at the corner of North and Maryland Avenues to the New Refuge Deliverance Cathedral at St. Paul and Chase Streets that has been covered in scaffolding for over a decade, Baltimore contains a number of distinct buildings that are highly visible, curiously vacant, and all but overlooked in plain sight. At this free talk and reception, architect and artist Jerome Gray will discuss his research into who built these places, who occupied them, who were supposed to be their stewards, and how these seemingly dull places actually contribute to Baltimore’s built environment.

The Founding Days: Doors Open Bus Tour of Some of Baltimore’s Oldest Buildings

Robert Long House 812 South Ann Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

1765. 1785. 1790. 1797. These are the dates of construction of the Robert Long House, Old Otterbein Church, the wooden Caulkers Houses in Fell’s Point, and Mayor Thorowgood Smith’s house in Jonestown. They are some of the oldest standing structures in Baltimore and four of the five historic places we’ll visit on our 2019 Doors Open Bus Tour. To round out the tour, we’ll also visit the Public Works Museum inside the Eastern Avenue Sewage Pumping Station, a wonderful civic structure erected as part of rebuilding the city and its sewage system in the wake of the 1904 Fire. Please join Baltimore Heritage director Johns Hopkins on this tour of early Baltimore buildings.
