It is of Ital ian Renaissance design, constructed of granite, trimmed in l imestone, and reminiscent of the facade of the Vendrami.ni Palace in Venice . A clock tower , 143 feet high, p;:-ojects from the center bay and is fronted by a small porte-cochere marking the main entrar.ce. Th e site is· tmusual in its locati on in a depression between two tunnels , yet does not appear sunken or insignificant because the dominant clock tower. The clock ' s illuminated faces house a 8-day pendul um clock manufactured by E. Howard of Boston.

The character of the exterior r emains virtually unchanged, although the r ear waiting platform and the baggage r oom have been enclosed to make space for a sculpture studio containing a folmdry for cas ting bronze and a kiln. The trainshed at the rear of the station virtually fills the area between t he two tunnels and provided a shel tered access to the trains . I t is a steel f rame, gable roof structure that originally covered an area of 71 x 420 feet . The shed has been some~hat shortened at the southern end by the removal of several bays. The r oof is supported on a series of trusses with arched lower chords connected longitudinal ly by I -beams . A central monitor supported by smal l er, simi lar t russes runs t he l ength of the ridge. Al l connect ions are of t he modern riveted type.

Sited at the north end of the Howard Street Tunnel, entirely' withih··the.. open cut between it and the Motmt Royal Tunnel, it was both unobtrusive and convenient . 111e shelt er provided by this below-grade site, combined with the trainshed, made the Mount Royal Depot a hospitable embarkation point in foul weather. The city of Bal timore used the depot as its official wel coming point to greet distinguished visitors, including several Presidents, British Prime Minister Ram.say MacDonald, Cardinal Gibbons, and Queen Marie of Romania . 111e trainshed which was partly responsible for the generally commodious environment was one of the last gable roof trainsheds built in America. Like the station, it was of a smaller less monumental scale than the l arge balloon sheds which were becoming fashionabl e at the time. It was a monwnent, however, in providing a sense of intimacy in an otherwise overwhelming urban environment. l fc.•m No 10-JOOa p _. 10 741 l'1'1 nos I .\ I l ·S DLP .. \K I \II:\ I ()I I Ill ~ l f\i ll:KIOR FOR NPS USE ONLY NA flONA L PARK SERVI CE RECEIVED NATIONAL REGISTER OF HI STORIC PLACES INVENTORY -- NOMINATION FORM DATE ENTER ED CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 6 PAGE 2 Maryland Register of Historic Sites and Landmarks 1970 State X Maryland Historical Trust 2525 Riva Road Annapolis, Maryland 21401 code 24 Form ll;o 10 ·30 0a ,Re• 10 7 d) L:\ 111·0 STXI LS Oll'.-\R I ~II:"\ I 0 1 1111: IN I l:HIUK FOR NPS USE ONLY NATIONAL PARK SERVICE RECEIVED NATIONAL REGISTER OF lilSTORIC PLACES INVENTORY -- NOMINATION FORM DATE ENTERED CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBE R 9 PAGE 2 Howland, Richard H. and Spencer, Eleanor P.

  • Open Swab Final Thesis B.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY BUILDING SUBURBAN LIFE: ROLAND PARK, BALTIMORE AND THE REGULATION OF SPACE JOHN JOSEPH SWAB SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Geography and History with honors in Geography Reviewed and approved* by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Supervisor Roger M. Downs Professor of Geography Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT An understudied example of an early modern suburb, Roland Park, Baltimore (constructed 1891- 1915) bridges the gap between the streetcar suburbs of the late nineteenth century and the tract suburbs of the mid-twentieth century. As an early modern suburb, the development of the Roland Park led to the formalization and creation of many of the social and cultural norms in addition to the landscape elements of today’s modern suburbs. This thesis examines these elements, by-products of the formation of an elite community, focusing on the regulation of Roland Park’s space in protecting it from the real and perceived negative influences of the outside world. Moreover, the thesis explores in depth the peopling of Roland Park’s built environment, a topic of great importance to the success of the community. Finally, the research places Roland Park in the larger spatial and temporal contexts of the development of other Baltimore communities, of other elite suburban developments within the United States, and the broader, global history of suburbs. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................................... iv LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................

  • Steam Passenger Service on the B & O
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, January 8, 2007 Steam Passenger Trains on the B & O: In the early 1930s, taking my cousin Eleanor and me to school at 4th & West Streets in Wilmington, my father would often stop at Mac’s Texaco filling station at Pennsylvania Avenue and Union Street, which was 50 yards from the overpass on the B & O Railroad’s main line. As we were stopped, a morning passenger train headed south (or west as the B & O called it) would often be pulling away from Delaware Avenue Station with a 4-6-2 Pacific “President Class” locomotive on the front end. On the side of the cab would be lettered “President Washington” or whatever president it turned out to be, and it was great fun to see how many “Presidents” we could see in a certain period of time. I think there were 24 locomotives in this class, and they were numbered from 5300 up. In 1936, I went to Washington during spring vacation with Dave Creighton and the YMCA for a wonderful three days. We went down on the newly electrified Pennsylvania Railroad, with its brand new GG-1 locomotives pulling the passenger trains. Coming home, however, we rode the Royal Blue on the B & O, still pulled by a fast steam locomotive. The whole train, including the locomotive, was painted dark blue, and there was modest streamlining on the locomotive, which had been modified from one of the 24 “Presidents.” There was a nifty (cool) buffet car on the train with a friendly black attendant in a white coat who served us cherry-vanilla ice cream behind a counter running the length of the car.

  • “THE HIRED GIRL” Driving Tour Baltimore Has Changed Dramatically Since Joan Skraggs Arrived More Than 100 Years Ago
    “THE HIRED GIRL” driving tour Baltimore has changed dramatically since Joan Skraggs arrived more than 100 years ago. Some buildings have been preserved, while others have deteriorated or been demolished. Your imagination—plus the images linked to the driving plan—will help you picture the city in 1911. From the north, take I-83 to Exit 6, North Avenue, and go straight onto West Mount Royal Avenue. From the south, take I-83 to Exit 6, North Avenue and head west on North Avenue. Turn left on West Mount Royal Avenue. Stop 1: Corpus Christi Church, West Mount Royal Avenue at Lafayette Street: Joan worshiped at the Gothic Revival-style Corpus Christi Church, which was con- secrated on January 1, 1891 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The church is next door to the Beaux-Arts main building of the Maryland Institute College of Art, which was dedicated in 1908. Corpus Christi is notable for its Florentine mosaics on glass windows that had a hypnotic effect on Joan. Continue south on West Mount Royal. Stop 2: Mount Royal Station, Mount Royal Avenue and Cathedral Street: Joan Skraggs arrived at this Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) passenger rail station, which was built in 1896. Service ended in 1961, but in 1964, the Maryland Institute College of Art purchased the station and converted it to galleries and studios. The station’s clock tower was a landmark in Baltimore’s early 20th century skyline. Continue on West Mount Royal and turn right onto Maryland Avenue (at the University of Baltimore).

  • CSX Tunnel Fire Baltimore, Maryland USFA-TR-140/July 2001
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series CSX Tunnel Fire Baltimore, Maryland USFA-TR-140/July 2001 Homeland Security U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he United States Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary T criterion for deciding to write a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construc- tion or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new, but are seri- ous enough to highlight once again because of another fire tragedy. In some cases, special reports are developed to discuss events, drills, or new technologies or tactics that are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The reports are available on request from USFA. Announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that USFA’s assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.
