SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nIn February 1904\, Baltimore’s chief firefighter cabled Washington DC: “Desperate fire here. 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.

SUMMARY:Old St. Paul’s Cemetery Tour: A Peek Behind the Stone Walls
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nOld St. Paul’s Cemetery’s list of the interred reads like the Who’s Who of the War of 1812 – Samuel Chase\, George Armistead\, John Eager Howard to name a few. 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.

SUMMARY:The Industrial Valley: A Lecture on 200 Years of Manufacturing on the Jones Falls
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nPlease join us to trace the industrial history and legacy of the Jones Falls Valley from Mt. Washington to Station North.

SUMMARY:Stone and Spirit: The Original Campus of Goucher College
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nWhile Rev. 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!

SUMMARY:Catacombs\, 100-Year Vendors and History at Lexington Market
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nBegun 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\, 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:Virtual Talk: Poole and Hunt to Clipper Mill\, A History of Adaptive Use with Nathan Dennies
DESCRIPTION:The Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Next up is Nathan Dennies with a short history about Clipper Mill in Woodberry\, from the Poole & Hunt machine shop in the 1850s to today\, and its many uses in-between. \nWoodberry was once home to the largest machine shop and iron works in the country. Poole & Hunt thrived alongside the booming textile industry of the Jones Falls Valley. It grew and remained a site of heavy industry for well over a century\, was later adapted by a flourishing arts community\, and after a tragic fire\, was transformed into Clipper Mill: a mixed use development that includes manufacturing\, residences\, design and engineering firms\, fine dining\, and more. \nThis presentation will cover the history of the Poole & Hunt Machine Shop and Iron Works\, including the impressive things they made here\, from the columns of the Capitol Building in Washington DC to contributions to both World War efforts. Discover how this site of heavy industry has changed over its 150 year history to meet the various needs of its users. And learn about the role of historic preservation in adapting historic sites for modern uses.

SUMMARY:The Shipwrecks of Curtis Bay with Underwater Archaeologist Dr. Susan Langley
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nDid you know there is a ship graveyard in Baltimore’s Curtis Creek? Join us onsite in front of half-submerged and hidden vessels for a talk by Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist\, Dr. Susan Langley. While there are three main collections of shipwrecked vessels in the area\, Dr. Langley will address her exploration of this area\, the largest and most diverse section off of Hawkins Point.  \nIt’s hard to believe\, but less than 60 years ago when steamships plied these waters\, the area around Curtis Bay was known for its strawberry fields and peach orchards. The area’s industrial nature is relatively recent. Still\, for over one hundred years a few groups have been local staples\, including Davison Chemical (now part W.R. Grace)\, the U.S. Coast Guard Yard\, and A. Smith & Sons\, now Smith Shipyard.  \nPlease join us and Dr. Langley in this outdoor talk to discover the rich history of this area and the people who lived nearby\, and of course the half-sunken ships themselves that include vessels built for WWI\, a ship that surprisingly sailed unmanned from North Carolina to Maine and back\, an early example of a ship made from cement\, and some intriguing schooners and tugs for good measure. We hope to see you on Hawkins Point!  \n  \n*There is an on-site parking lot. Please bring your own outdoor chair or blanket! We will have light snacks and drinks. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. 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.

SUMMARY:The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nJoin us to explore the eerie catacombs underneath Baltimore’s First Presbyterian Church\, now called Westminster Hall\, and the graves that surround it\, including the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. 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!”

SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\nIn February 1904\, Baltimore’s chief firefighter cabled Washington DC: “Desperate fire here. 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.

SUMMARY:Transforming the Noxzema Factory into the Fox Building: A Virtual Talk with Jessica Damseaux
DESCRIPTION:The Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Join architect Jessica Damseaux to learn about how Alexander Design Studio adapted the historic Noxzema factory into a vibrant mixed-use community of apartments and artist workspaces. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support the BAF and Baltimore Heritage. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nThe Fox Building is an adaptive reuse of a 20th century Noxzema factory located in Hampden just blocks from the Avenue on 36th Street. Noxzema got its start in Maryland and became famous for its skin cream in little blue glass jars. \nThe building has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community of apartments and artist workspaces. Many of the building’s original features have been retained and restored including the original maple wood flooring\, glass block windows\, soaring 15’ factory ceilings\, and massive mushroom shaped concrete columns. The renovation was designed to meet the requirements of both National and State Historic tax credits. \nThe result is a decidedly modern mixed use building that celebrates its industrial origins. It includes 96 loft style and studio apartments with original concrete floors and modern kitchens\, studio artist space and gallery\, and common areas including a theater\, gym\, and pool. \nLearn about its transformation from the architect.

SUMMARY:Roadblocks: The Effects of Highways In and Around Druid Hill Park
DESCRIPTION:This program is hosted on Zoom and Facebook Live. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support the BAF\, Baltimore Heritage and Clean Water Action. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nJoin public artist Graham Coreil-Allen and environmental activist Jennifer Kunze as they explore the cultural and environmental impacts of cars in and around Druid Hill Park. Beginning in the 1940s\, car-oriented planning deprived neighboring residents of the public health\, cultural\, and economic benefits of Druid Hill Park. Construction of the Druid Hill Expressway and the Jones Falls Expressway resulted in dangerous five-to-nine-lane-wide highways encapsulating the park\, and blocking access by nearby residents. Further\, this influx of cars brought increased air pollution into the neighborhoods. \nGraham will shed light on The Access Project for Druid Hill Park (TAP Druid Hill)\, his initiative to bring together diverse neighborhood groups to shape the future of transportation around and access to Druid Hill Park. Jennifer will join the conversation from another angle to discuss the environmental and public health impacts of car travel in the city. The transportation sector is responsible for about 1/3 of asthma-causing air pollution\, more than any smokestack\, and Baltimore’s car-centric planning has harmed our air and water. \nAbout the Speakers \nGraham Coreil-Allen is a Baltimore-based public artist making places more inclusive and livable through public art\, placemaking\, and civic engagement. Coreil-Allen collaborates with neighbors to interpret and activate public spaces through public art for pedestrian safety and play\, interactive mapping\, radical walking tours\, and neighborhood advocacy. Whether creating artistic crosswalks\, memorable wayfinding\, interactive sculptures\, or light art installations\, Coreil-Allen caringly infuses public space with play and accessibility. \nJennifer Kunze is the Maryland Program Organizer at Clean Water Action\, where she works to support local campaigns in communities across Maryland. In Baltimore\, her work has focused on banning crude oil train terminals\, understanding the risk of lead in our drinking water supply\, supporting offshore wind development\, advocating for better assistance and prevention for people dealing with sewage backups in their homes\, and more.

SUMMARY:The Row House as Classical Architecture with Charlie Duff
DESCRIPTION:When we think of classical architecture\, we usually think of ancient temples\, or the cathedrals and palaces that Renaissance architects built in imitation of classical antiquity. We don’t usually think of row houses. \nWe should. In the years between 1600 and about 1850\, the years when the people of the North Atlantic world wanted classical architecture\, they invented the row house and built the first row house cities. \nTo find out how this happened\, and what it looks like\, register now and join us on August 7. \nAbout the Presenter \nCharles Duff is a planner\, teacher\, developer\, and historian. Since 1987\, Mr. Duff has been President of Jubilee Baltimore\, a non-profit group that has built or rebuilt more than 300 buildings in historic Baltimore neighborhoods and is leading the development of the Station North Arts District. He has been President of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation and Chairman of the Board of the Patterson Park Community Development Corporation. A graduate of Amherst College and Harvard University\, he lectures widely and has taught at Johns Hopkins and Morgan State. He co-wrote Then and Now: Baltimore Architecture in 2005 and contributed to The Architecture of Baltimore. His book The North Atlantic Cities has just been published.

SUMMARY:How Suffragists Built Baltimore’s First Recreation Center
DESCRIPTION:The women’s suffrage movement. Cast-in-place concrete. Katherine Hepburn. What do these three things have in common? The Roosevelt Park Recreation Center\, of course! In this installment of Virtual Histories\, BAF board member Jackson Gilman-Forlini will present his ongoing research into the origins and architecture of Baltimore’s first rec center.\nCompleted in 1911\, the Roosevelt Park Recreation Center was the culmination of a years-long campaign by a tenacious group of Progressive Era reformers who\, despite skeptics\, believed they could improve the lives of working-class people through recreation. This initiative was led by Edith Houghton Hooker\, one of the most influential of Maryland suffragists and later the maternal aunt of actor Katherine Hepburn. The unlikely story behind the center’s creation is matched only by its architecture: an unusually modern design for Baltimore at the time and a wholly forgotten work by local architect J.B. Noel Wyatt.\nDespite modifications over the years\, the building retains a high degree of historical integrity and state of preservation.

SUMMARY:Virtual Histories Talk: Society’s Cage\, An Interpretive Design Pavilion for BLM
DESCRIPTION:Society’s Cage is a timely interpretive installation on the National Mall in Washington\, DC on view from August 28-September 6. The project was conceived and designed by the architecture firm SmithGroup in partnership with the Architects Foundation in the aftermath of the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor murders as our society reckons with institutional racism and white supremacy. The public installation features a bold interpretive pavilion sculpted to symbolize the historic forces of racialized state violence. The experience educates visitors and functions as a sanctuary to reflect\, record and share personal thoughts. It is conceived in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement as a mechanism for building empathy and healing.\n\n\n  \nThe initial installation coincides with the March on Washington in support of Black Lives\, being held in Washington\, DC on August 28\, 2020\, and is located on the National Mall at 12th Street and Madison Drive NW.\n  \nSociety’s Cage reminds visitors that the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are not anomalies\, but rather the latest examples in a 400+ year historic pattern of unmitigated\, unbound\, systemic anti-Blackness in the United States. The installation provides an opportunity to acknowledge and reckon with the severity of the racial biases inherent in the institutional structures of justice and creates a space for collective reflection\, contemplation\, sharing and healing.\n\n  \n\nThe pavilion is a series of bars which are hung to form a cube with a cavernous void that symbolizes our imperfect society and justice system. The void is shaped by historical data and serves as a visual metaphor to represent the primary institutional forces of racism that embody the Black American experience.\n  \nFinancial donations to this Virtual History program will support this project\, and the possibility of bringing it to Baltimore. Additional donations will benefit the Architects Foundation’s Diversity Advancement scholarships.\n\n\n  \nThis program is hosted on Zoom and Facebook Live. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \n  \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history.
