Explore Modernism in Baltimore

Help us preserve Baltimore’s modernist architecture and landscapes through documentation and interpretation. We are publishing a series of profiles on modernist buildings on Explore Baltimore Heritage and developing an inventory of modernist buildings, landscapes and neighborhoods across the Baltimore region.
