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. 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 the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Hosted every Friday at 1:00 pm EST. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support BAF and Baltimore Heritage.

SUMMARY:Sound and Proclamation: Learning about Henry McShane and his Bells (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Luke McCusker of the Irish Railroad Workers Museum as we explore Henry McShane\, his bell foundry and the churches where they were installed. His work was vital in the proclamation of religious freedom throughout America’s cities and towns. By McShane’s death\, his foundry had 1\,000 employees. He and his workers had made and shipped over 200\,000 bells\, supplying 75% of the bells found in America’s churches. Ships and civic memorials also purchased bells from the firm. McShane is also credited with naming Dundalk\, having established a factory there and naming it after Dundalk\, Ireland where his father was born. \nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:“Life Goes On:” The Legacy of Henrietta Lacks and Turner Station
DESCRIPTION:Don’t know who Henrietta Lacks was? Most of the world didn’t until about ten years ago. Mrs. Lacks is best recognized for her immortal cells\, which scientists and doctors still use today to study the effects of toxins\, drugs\, hormones and viruses on people without experimenting on humans. Her cells helped create the HPV and polio vaccines. Yet it took some twenty-five years before the Lacks family received any knowledge of the important contribution of their beloved wife and mother. Please join us and the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for a walking tour of Turner Station in Dundalk\, the last home of Henrietta Lacks\, to hear about Henrietta\, her family\, and her life in Turner Station. \nIn 1951\, Mrs. Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment of cervical cancer. Without informing Mrs. Lacks\, Hopkins doctors noticed that the removed cancer cells continued to grow in the lab. This marked the first instance of continuous growth of human cells outside the body. Henrietta died on October 4\, 1951 from her cancer. She was 31 years old. \nDoctors named her cells HeLa (from the first letters of her first and last names) and\, without Lacks family approval\, began sending them to laboratories around the world for research. Mrs. Lacks’ story weaves together important ethical and racial issues of the medical industrial complex\, segregation\, and the polarized economy of Baltimore. We are honored to be partnering with the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for this tour. Join guide Servant Speed as we walk through Henrietta’s Turner Station community and learn about her incredible story. \nDue to Covid precautions\, we are limiting space more than usual. All participants will be required to wear face masks and socially distance during the tour. \n  \nWant to learn more about Henrietta Lacks?  \nThe Double-Edged Helix” in Rolling Stone Magazine\n“The Miracle of HeLa” in Ebony Magazine\nThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

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:The Church of the Redeemer: Baltimore's Beloved Modernist Church (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schroeder will discuss the history\, design\, and lasting impact of the church\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Church of the Redeemer made it to the semifinals of BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament\, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today\, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans. \nThe Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern\, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time. \nPeitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy\, and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone\, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel\, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work. \n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Designs on Victory: Olmsted-Inspired Garden City Plans for Historic Dundalk (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Amy Menzer discusses the design and development of WWI Era Historic Dundalk! \nThe Bethlehem Steel Mill at Sparrows Point launched an effort to create a Garden City-style town in 1917 just before the US entered WWI. At the same time\, the Federal Government began housing production for war workers. Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. (FLO Jr.) headed the Town Planning division of the new United States Housing Corporation. Several colleagues in the nascent profession of city planning who had worked with FLO Jr. on Roland Park and Forest Hills Gardens were all directly involved in designing Dundalk\, including Baltimore architect Edward Palmer\, Roland Park Company leader Edward Bouton\, and architects Grosvenor Atterbury and Charles Wellford Leavitt. Their plans were inspired by their designs for more affluent areas\, including curvilinear streets\, separation of uses\, green spaces\, and restrictive covenants. We will explore how these plans created a new community for workers and managers\, but was segregated by race. \nPresenters \nAmy E. Menzer is executive director of Dundalk Renaissance\, a 20 year-old non-profit community development organization\, and is deeply interested in planning history and neighborhood change. She also serves as a Board member of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes. She previously worked for Citizens Planning and Housing Association on housing and transportation advocacy\, and has served as President of the Community Development Network of Maryland\, NeighborSpace Baltimore County\, the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association\, and the Transit Riders League of Metropolitan Baltimore. She holds a Ph.D in Human Geography from Johns Hopkins University. \nJoining this presentation is Meg Fairfax Fielding\, past president of BAF\, and member of BAF’s Dead Architects’ Society. By day\, Meg is the head of the History of Maryland Medicine at MedChi\, which was founded in 1799\, but on weekends\, loves to explore Baltimore and the surrounding areas and take deep dives into the historical contributing architects\, such as Palmer & Lamdin.

SUMMARY:The History and Award Winning Renovation of the Pratt Central Library (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Sandra Vicchio and Jillian Storms discuss the design of the Pratt Central Library\, one of Baltimore’s most beloved buildings. \nThe Pratt Central Library achieved second place in BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament of Baltimore’s best buildings built between 1870 and today and hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. In today’s Virtual History\, we’ll explore what makes this library so special and how it served as a national model for libraries that followed. \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…” This welcoming vision was echoed in the 1929 design of the system’s new central branch\, starting with its street-level main entrance on Cathedral Street\, going against the grain of architectural design for grand civic institutions at the time. Architect Clyde N. Friz hoped to give the library “a dignity characterized by friendliness rather than aloofness” avoiding the old-fashioned institutional character of past libraries. When Baltimore’s Central Library opened on Cathedral Street in 1933\, it displayed its featured content in large bay windows along its street facade enticing all to enter\, much like department stores on nearby Howard Street. \nToday\, the Central Library serves more than half a million people a year and recently received a $115 million\, three-year renovation. Its exterior and interiors were gorgeously restored and fully transformed for the digital age with up-to-date systems and technology masterfully integrated into the historic fabric. Dropped ceilings were removed to reveal fabulous stenciling\, decorative molding damaged in prior renovations was restored by artisans\, and historically appropriate new lighting was installed to make the rooms feel light and airy. The results are stunning. \nCome join us as we hear from our two presenters about this award-winning library\, inviting and comfortable for all who enter\, and one that will fill you with civic pride. Gordon Krabbe\, Chief Operating Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library\, will be introducing our presenters. \nAbout the Presenters: \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, has done extensive architectural research on numerous architects who practiced in Maryland\, including Clyde N. Friz\, AIA\, who holds the first architectural licence issued by the State of Maryland. She is a former President of the BAF and now serves as co-chair of its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society. She serves as a capital programs manager at the School Facilities Branch of the Maryland State Department of Education. \nSandra Parsons Vicchio\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, is founding principal of Sandra Vicchio & Associates\, LLC\, with more than 30 years of experience in programming\, planning\, architecture\, and design. Her portfolio includes historic preservation\, renovation\, and new construction encompassing laboratory\, office\, academic\, administrative\, visitor center\, library\, and museum spaces. She co-authored the 2015 book The Living Library: An Intellectual Ecosystem and served as consulting architect on the Pratt Central Library renovation project team\, along with lead architects\, Beyer Blinder Belle\, and managing architects\, Ayers Saint Gross. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.
