  • Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church

    10 E Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, MD 21202 10 E. Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, Maryland

    A visit to Mount Vernon Place United Methodist Church is a journey into the architectural and cultural history of Baltimore. Completed in 1872 as a self-proclaimed “Cathedral of Methodism,” this Norman-Gothic landmark was designed by noted Baltimore architects Thomas Dixon and Charles L. Carson. Rising in green serpentine stone beside the Washington Monument, the church initially provoked strong reactions from its Mount Vernon neighbors, who were unsettled by its dramatic scale, distinctive color, and soaring steeple. Over time, however, the church has become one of the most admired and defining features of Mount Vernon Place.

  • The Catacombs Under Westminster: Two Hundred Years of Tombs and Edgar Allan Poe’s Gravesite

    Join 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!”

  • Backstage at Center Stage

    Center Stage Theater 700 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

    When Center Stage theater moved into the former Loyola College and High School on Calvert Street in Mt. Vernon, the building had been vacant for decades. The Catholic school was built in 1899 to fill out a campus owned by the religious order the Society of Jesus, which previously had erected St. Ignatius Church at the corner of Madison and Calvert Streets and needed more space than its basement could provide to offer schooling for Catholic youth. The high school and college occupied the site until 1922, when they split into separate institutions and moved out. And the building went largely unused until 1975 when Center Stage moved in.

    Please join us as we learn how a modern theater flourishes in a century old building with a backstage tour of Center Stage.
