SUMMARY:The Olmsted Firm's Evolving Relationship with the Roland Park Company (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:On Friday June 3\, 2022\, author Ann G. Giroux will give a Virtual History on “The Olmsted Firm’s Evolving Relationship with the Roland Park Company” starting at 1:00pm. The Roland Park Company\, headed by Edward H. Bouton\, collaborated with the Olmsted firm on numerous projects both in and out of Baltimore’s historic Roland Park Company District. This professional relationship\, which spanned several decades\, produced dramatically different landscape treatments\, reflecting Bouton’s growing experience\, confidence and stature\, evolving trends in suburban residential design\, and financial considerations. This program will show through pictures and plans how the Olmsteds adapted their planning principles to meet Bouton’s requirements for the communities of Roland Park (1890s)\, Guilford (1910s) and Homeland (1920s). \n  \nAbout Our Presenter \nFormerly a consultant for historic projects in the State of Maryland\, author Ann G. Giroux now spends her time researching and writing about The Roland Park Company District in\, northern Baltimore City . She is an avid historic home and garden enthusiast who alternates between digging in her Guilford garden and digging through dusty archival records. Ann has served as a member of the Guilford Association Board of Managers\, of the Guilford Architectural Review Committee\, and of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes’ Board of Directors. \n  \nAbout This Event \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION:In 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 on this walking tour 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. \n\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: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.
