  • PS 103 Landmark Report.Pdf
    Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation Landmark Designation Report June 11, 2013 Public School No. 103 —Henry Highland Garnet School 1315 Division Street Baltimore, Maryland The content of this report is from A Plan for PS103 – Thurgood Marshall’s Elementary School Prepared for the Mayor‟s Commission on Former PS103 under the auspices of the Baltimore National Heritage Area, Point Heritage Consulting, October 31, 2010. Summary PS103, a landmark in the Upton community of West Baltimore, is significant to Baltimore for its architecture and the important role that it played in the history of education in the city. It was designed by prominent architect George Frederick in 1877 to serve white children, and in its form met the best practices for the design of school buildings, a design that is still retained today. In 1911, it became a school for African American children, earning a reputation as one of the city‟s finest. This school played an important role in the education of thousands of children in West Baltimore, including Thurgood Marshall, who later became a leader in the desegregation of the nation‟s public school system, as well as for his service as the first African American Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. PS 103 is significant for the role that it played in the education of African American students prior to desegregation, and for its architecture. History The school at 1315 Division Street was constructed by order of Baltimore‟s Board of School Commissioners between 1876 and 1877 to address overcrowding in the Male and Female Grammar School No.

An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt.

  • Executive Secretaries & Executive Directors

The responsibilities of the position have changed and duties have been expanded and diversified. Similarly, the MACo staff has grown, from the charter staff of Executive Secretary Lovelace and a stenographer, to the seven staff members who serve the organization today. Each Executive Director has not only redefined the position, but, along with his or her staff, has helped to shape and develop MACo itself. Robert Lovelace As discussed in the previous chapter, Robert Lovelace, a former city manager, began his duties with the Association upon the establishment of the Symons Hall office beginning June 1, 1960. Per the agreement with the University of Maryland, he joined their staff as a lecturer in American Government. As the first Executive Secretary, as it was then called, Lovelace set the pace and provided a basic structure for those that would come after him. As is the case today, in 1960 the SACCOM Board was made up of county officials for whom Association service was only one aspect of their responsibilities; Lovelace was the first person involved with the organization that could focus wholly on its development.

  • A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives
    Governing Baltimore: A Guide to the Records of the Mayor and City Council at the Baltimore City Archives William G. LeFurgy, Susan Wertheimer David, and Richard J. Cox Baltimore City Archives and Records Management Office Department of Legislative Reference 1981 Table of Contents Preface i History of the Mayor and City Council 1 Scope and Content 3 Series Descriptions 5 Bibliography 18 Appendix: Mayors of Baltimore 19 Index 20 1 Preface Sweeping changes occurred in Baltimore society, commerce, and government during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From incorporation in 1796 the municipal government's evolution has been indicative of this process. From its inception the city government has been dominated by the mayor and city council. The records of these chief administrative units, spanning nearly the entire history of Baltimore, are among the most significant sources for this city's history. This guide is the product of a two year effort in arranging and describing the mayor and city council records funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These records are the backbone of the historical records of the municipal government which now total over three thousand cubic feet and are available for researchers. The publication of this guide, and three others available on other records, is preliminary to a guide to the complete holdings of the Baltimore City Archives scheduled for publication in 1983. During the last two years many debts to individuals were accumulated. First and foremost is my gratitude to the staff of the NHPRC, most especially William Fraley and Larry Hackman, who made numerous suggestions regarding the original proposal and assisted with problems that appeared during the project.
