Baltimore National County where the project will take place: Baltimore City Project Title Restoring Homewood's Palladian North Portico What type of project are you requesting funding for? The following types of activities are eligible to receive MHAA funding:

Capital (MHAA) Project Description Briefly describe your project, including what your end results and products will be. Homewood Museum proposes to restore its early 19th-century portico, located on the north side of the Palladian-style mansion once home to the Charles Carroll Jr. Family as well as many enslaved and indentured laborers. Areas of the portico are currently deteriorating with the potential of damaging its structural integrity if left unaddressed. The north portico serves as one point of access to the museum and is an important architectural feature of what is considered to be one of the region's best surviving examples of Federal period architecture. The scope of the project would include assessment and repointing of its marble treads along with assessment and replacement of damaged areas of wood planks and railings. Finally, damaged areas of the north columns and entablature will be repaired.
Benefit to the Heritage Area Briefly discuss how your project will benefit heritage tourism in your local heritage area. Homewood Museum is a National Historic Landmark, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a designated Baltimore City Landmark. Preservation of the museum's architecture, both interior and exterior, is a crucial part of its appeal to heritage tourists and visitors which annually number in the thousands. Museum stakeholders have identified the north portico as a priority capital project and aim to restore it in tandem with the slated restoration of the mansion's original privy lying immediately to its northwest. Features and the grounds on the north side of Homewood (the "back" of the home) particularly speak to the museum's updated narrative which interprets the lives of documented enslaved populations who lived and worked on the original property. Illuminating these difficult histories is a timely and important part of the 21st-century museum-goer's experience. Finally, the museum porticos often serve as focal points/locations of public events.
Project Budget

When typing in dollar amounts, only enter numbers. Round the amounts to the nearest dollar.
MHAA grant funds requested The minimum amount you can request is $5,000. The maximum amount is $50,000 for non-capital projects and $100,000 for capital projects. 45000.00 Total Matching Funds Expected • Your organization must match MHAA funds dollar-for-dollar, with any combination of cash and in-kind contributions. • This means that if you receive a $5,000 grant, your organization must spend an additional $5,000 on the project using non-state sources of funds. • This match may be "in-kind," meaning it may consist of volunteer hours you plan to spend on the project (currently valued at $29.51 per hour) and the documented value of donated services and materials. • All match must be spent after the grant is awarded. • If you plan to spend additional match, beyond the required dollar-for- dollar match, list the total amount of non-state funds you anticipate spending on the project here. Leveraging more than the required one- to-one match is not a requirement and will not mean that your project is more likely to be funded. 45000.00 Request Type/Status Contributions-Grant-ITA Received Fund State Fund Record Type Organization

Hi Kate,
I hope this message finds you well and navigating this crazy COVID world OK!
We noticed about a year ago that the roof, gutter, & crown above the North Portico at Homewood Museum is showing signs of some rather concerning damage/deterioration. We are planning to address this issue in the coming months. I’ve filled out MHT’s application to the best of my ability, with the caveat that we don’t really know the extent of the damage until we remove some of the existing roof and crown materials and have a look inside. I’ve also included a set of drawings from the 1984 roof restoration project that were redlined by Ron Masotta, our trusted architect from SMP.
Please let me know if you have any questions as you review the application.
Many thanks,
Cecilia

Delbert Adams Construction Group: Past Work with Johns Hopkins University Museums
Evergreen Museum & Library, in late 2019, restored its raised outdoor terrace adjoining the Main Library. The terrace is a prominent feature of the museum, built off the famed John Work Garrett Main Library; nearly every museum guest walks past this feature on their way to the museum entrance. Delbert Adams Construction Group served as the project’s general contractor. The results created a more welcoming view for visitors and will allow for it to be a staging area for events and programs, hosted by both the museum for outreach and by the museum’s private events program. Before and after pictures of the project are contained below.

EXHIBITION AN ONGOING EXPLORATION OF HOMEWOOD'S UNTOLD HISTORY A multiyear research project examines the stories of the slaves who lived and worked at the property that would become Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus
Bret McCabe / May 16, 2018 Enslaved families once lived and worked for the people who owned the land that Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus now occupies.
Simply acknowledging that fact and exploring the historical significance of it occupies the heart of a multiyear research project at Johns Hopkins, part of a broader movement toward reconsidering the way we talk and think about historic house museums and heritage sites in
3/8/2021 41
America. The project inspired a spring semester class on the topic as well as a new, soon-to- debut tour script at Homewood Museum.
"WE'RE TRYING TO RETHINK THE STORIES WE PRESENT HERE AND SHIFT TOWARD A SOCIAL HISTORY FOCUS." —Julie Rose Curator and director, Homewood Museum
"We're trying to rethink the stories we present here and shift toward a social history focus," says Julie Rose, the museum's director and curator.
The Palladian-style, Federal-era mansion that is home to Homewood Museum was built in the early 19th century for Charles Carroll of Homewood; his wife, Harriet Chew Carroll; and their five children. Rose notes that since it opened as a museum in 1987, the curatorial focus has been similar to that of most historic house museums in the latter half of the 20th century, with a focus on the architecture of the building and its affluent principal occupants.
Charles Carroll of Homewood came from one of Maryland's most distinguished families. His father, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, was a Declaration of Independence signatory and Maryland's first senator. His grandfather, Charles Carroll of Annapolis, was the son of one of Maryland's early settlers, Charles Carroll the Settler, who acquired nearly 50,000 acres of land before his death in 1720. That land produced tobacco, cotton, wheat, and other grains, and it provided a fair share of the family's wealth over the next two centuries. And from the time of Charles Carroll the Settler's arrival in 1688 on through emancipation, the Carroll family was one of the largest slave-owning families in the state.

The Homewood estate was never a large-scale working farm, but it was an affluent family's country house and home to several families. Rose says that, to their current knowledge, up to 36 enslaved people lived at Homewood when the Carrolls were there.
3/8/2021 42
"The new tour, Families at Homewood, focuses on three of the families that lived at Homewood: two enslaved and one that was slave-holding," Rose says. "We're telling the stories of Cis and Izadod Conner, who raised a family here. They had six children and, later, they had as many as 13 children. What happened to them? What were their lives like? These are the kinds of questions we can ask when we start to look at this [historic house] with fresh eyes."
More Than A Name: Enslaved Families at Historic Homewood, an exhibition co-curated by eight undergraduates in a spring 2018 class offered by the Program in Museums and Society, focuses on those three families: the Carrolls, the Conners, and William and Becky Ross and their children. The exhibition, which runs through May 27, grew out of the "Enslaved at Homewood" research project, an effort to uncover more information about these enslaved families and individuals that is funded by a Maryland Heritage Areas Authority grant.
"The historic house story has traditionally always been about the family, the white family that owned the house," says Abby Burch Schreiber, the researcher who, along with Rose, taught the More Than a Name class and co-curated the exhibition. "As a way to kind of emerge from that tradition in a fresh way, we're thinking of families. The family, and the numerous families here —because there has never been a concerted effort to systematically understand even the basic circumstances of slavery here."
Schreiber, who graduated from Johns Hopkins in 2006 with degrees in history and anthropology, worked as a Homewood Museum staff member for a year before going on to earn a PhD in history. Her dissertation focused on Baltimore merchants from 1790 to 1830.
Catherine Rogers Arthur, Homewood Museum's previous director and curator, knew of Julie Rose and Abby Burch Schreiber Schreiber's interest and expertise in mid-Atlantic IMAGE : WILL KIRK / JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY material culture and history during the era of Homewood 's construction and early years, so she reached out to her about the "Enslaved at Homewood" project.
"As we started this project about three and a half years ago, family letters were mostly what we used," Schreiber says. "Those were the sources that we had available."
In April 2015, Schreiber delivered a talk during an alumni weekend panel discussion that drew heavily on stories she gleaned from Carroll family correspondence and newspapers. Titled "Enslaved at Homewood: Sources on Individual Experiences," it was a frank, sobering discussion of the people and what their lives might have been like. Schreiber made clear that if one of the missions of a museum is to tell the stories of history, leaving out certain participants in that history paints an incomplete picture.

"You can't understand an estate like Homewood, a farm that had agricultural laborers but also a grand mansion that had a number of household staff, [without understanding the people who were doing the work]," Schreiber said during the talk, noting that Homewood was part of a larger system of labor and agriculture among the Carroll family properties. The story of the Carrolls and their lifestyle at the estate, by necessity, she said, needs to include the stories of everyone else who lived on the farm. "We need to talk about slavery more at Homewood," she said.
In recent years, many historic homes, heritage sites, and history museums have begun exploring ways to tell such "difficult history." Historian and curator Phillip Seitz worked with the Cliveden historic mansion in Germantown, Pennsylvania. In an essay for Curator: The Museum Journal titled "No More White History," he discusses the challenges of incorporating the history of slavery into a historic house's curatorial program but notes that, in doing so, the strong public response has the capacity to turn historic homes into spaces of deep reflection.
Rose, Homewood Museum's director and curator, agrees. In her 2016 book, Interpreting Difficult History at Museums and Historic Sites, she writes about the Magnolia Mound Plantation house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which introduced the stories of enslaved people into its tours and storytelling to develop strategies for making difficult history part of a curatorial practice.

She notes that there will be pushback, as the telling of oppressive history can make people uncomfortable. One common argument against incorporating the history of enslaved people, she says, is that, due to the scarcity of primary sources, the history is difficult to tell meaningfully and accurately. But, Rose explains, "resistance to interpreting slavery is not about scarcity of documentation." Rather, using the supposed scarcity of documentation to excuse engagement is a form of resistance, as are denial, sarcasm, and apathy.
Thanks to the "Enslaved at Homewood" grant and the digitization of archival materials, Schreiber was able to explore a much wider selection of material. She dug through tax records; church records; manuscripts at the Maryland State Archives, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Maryland Historical Society; and more.
"Once we got the funding for the project, I was able to uncover many more sources, and as we've been continuing to develop the tour, we've been finding even more," Schreiber says. "The Maryland State Archives has done a huge project on the digitization of the records related to slavery, so there's a lot more available online now than there was even 10 years ago."
Rose and Schreiber understand that the history of Homewood is an evolving narrative, as they and their students turn the information they encounter into the stories that are part of the exhibition and the new tour script. What the "Enslaved at Homewood" grant has enabled the museum to achieve is a step toward presenting a more inclusive interpretation at Homewood Museum and providing a richer understanding of the place where the Johns Hopkins University is located. But it's still just a first step.
Rose says that when she and Schreiber first started writing the new tour script last summer, they had a certain set of questions they assumed they wanted to answer.
"As we found new material, we started to ask different questions," Rose says. She notes that the museum's docents will be the first trained with the new tour, and she imagines that once the public engages with it, new questions will emerge from that process, too. "This [project] is really just the beginning of the story."

Dear Caroline, We had such a lovely social meeting yesterday afternoon! I felt connected to Homewood House in such a special way. Yes, please do transfer my vocation to the back porch restoration project.
Also, here is the information on the sunscreen I mentioned: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunscreen SPF 70 It is perfect for the face and can be applied under your regular moisturizer. It is very liquid and runny, so be very careful to pour out just a tiny bit.
When the weather warms up, we should have a lunch at the Ambassador's back yard!
Best, Eileen

Yes, let's reschedule for 1:30. That should give you plenty of time to return to your office and prepare for our staff meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! Best, Eileen

NAN PINKARD–AURELIA BOLTON INTERNSHIP Homewood Museum / March 26, 2021 Deadline
Established in honor of Anne Merrick Pinkard by lead gifts from Aurelia Garland Bolton and Hershel L. Seder, and support from the France-Merrick Foundation. This internship celebrates the lifelong friendship of these two women, and their shared devotion to Homewood Museum.
THE PROGRAM The Pinkard-Bolton Internship Program provides Johns Hopkins undergraduate students with the opportunity to gain significant understanding of the museum profession through work at Homewood Museum, the 1801 residence of Charles and Harriet Carroll and several enslaved families and individuals. A National Historic Landmark, Homewood is the namesake and architectural inspiration for the Homewood campus. One intern is selected annually to receive a stipend of $1,500 (100 hours/8 weeks). Exact dates and schedule will be determined by the museum staff and the intern. Internship timeframe is generally from late June through early August.
SUMMER 2021 PROJECT For summer 2021, the Pinkard-Bolton intern will conduct primary and secondary source research on the museum’s historic privy. Starting in spring 2021, the privy will undergo a one- year interior restoration, following its 2012 exterior renovation. The renovation will culminate in adding the privy to the guest experience at Homewood Museum. Currently, the privy is closed to visitors. Student research will be incorporated into new interpretive signage, tour content, and educational programming related to this 1801 outbuilding. PLEASE NOTE: This internship may be run either virtually or in-person depending on current JHU policies regarding COVID-19.
ELIGIBILITY All candidates must be enrolled as undergraduate students at Johns Hopkins and must have some relevant coursework in at least one of the following: American art, American architecture, American history, anthropology, material culture, education, Museums & Society Program. Graduating seniors are not eligible the summer after their senior year. This internship is not eligible for academic credit. Information on Homewood Museum may be found online at http://museums.jhu.edu. TO APPLY Selection is competitive. Applicants should submit a résumé or curriculum vitae; a letter of application describing interests and relevant experience; and a letter of recommendation from a professor or mentor. All materials must be emailed to Barbara St. Ours, Museum Coordinator, at [email protected] no later than 5 p.m., March 26, 2021.
QUESTIONS: Interested Johns Hopkins undergraduate students are welcome to contact Barbara St. Ours at [email protected].

Dear MHAA Grant Reviewers:
The Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) supports the grant proposal to restore the Homewood Museum’s deteriorating roof, upper fascia and gutter system of the north-facing portico of the historic house museum.
Homewood’s North Portico is a significant architectural feature of the house that connects visually with Homewood’s surrounding landscape. We know that if left unaddressed, the portico would continue to suffer from structural concerns and potentially create safety hazards. Left unaddressed, it would also affect the museum’s accessibility, as it is an alternative entrance to the gift shop. By taking action now, the museum can continue its commitment to sustaining regional identity by carefully preserving this important cultural resource in Baltimore City.
The Homewood Museum is an important heritage tourism site in Maryland. Homewood plays an important role in engaging audiences with educational opportunities to examine and better understand Federal era Baltimore through the lens of architectural heritage. BAF partners with Homewood during our Doors Open Baltimore event and an architecture lecture series. We appreciate the museum’s commitment to telling the story of Baltimore’s architectural history and as a steward of this important historic site.
We urge you to look favorably upon this grant application.
Sincerely,
Nathan Dennies Associate Director Baltimore Architecture Foundation.

c. Not more than twenty-three Trustees shall be elected to serve, in the case of each, for a six-year term, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.a of this Article, except if and to the extent that there are fewer than twelve Alumni Trustees elected as provided in Section 2 of this Article, the limit of twenty-three Trustees in this Section 1 may be increased accordingly.

3. Emeriti Trustees.
a. The Board of Trustees may at its discretion and on recommendation of the Committee on Trusteeship, Nomination and By-Laws grant the status of Trustee Emeritus(a) for life to those members or former members of the Board of Trustees who have made distinguished contributions to the University and have served at least two terms of meritorious service, unless prevented by age or extraordinary circumstances from completing a second term.
b. Trustees Emeriti shall be entitled to receive or access notices of meetings of the Board, copies of minutes, committee reports, and other materials which are sent to members of the Board.
c. Trustees Emeriti shall not attend meetings of the Board or of committees of the Board except as requested on a non-routine basis by the Chair (for Board meetings) or the Chair of a committee (for a committee meeting).
4. Election of Trustees
a. Upon nomination by the Committee on Trusteeship, Nominations and By-Laws, Trustees may be elected by the Board of Trustees to fill any vacancies in the Board and an affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees in office at the time of election shall be necessary to approve an election. Trustees unable to attend a meeting of the Board at which a vacancy in the Board shall be filled may vote to fill such vacancy by written proxy.
b. Trustees elected under Article 1 of these by-laws shall be nominated, and vacancies in those so elected filled, in accordance with rules approved by the Board.
c. The election of Trustees shall be at a stated or special meeting of the Board, or at an adjourned meeting thereof, and if such election is to be on the agenda, the Secretary shall give notice thereof in the call for the meeting.
5. Term of Office.
a. The term of each Trustee shall commence on the first day of the month which follows his or her election, provided that the Trustee shall have accepted such election in writing to the Board Secretary. A trustee's term shall expire on June 30 in the year in which his or her term is concluded, or the June 30 following his or her seventy-fifth birthday, whichever shall first occur. A Trustee who has served two six-year terms may, in an exceptional case, on recommendation of the Committee on Trusteeship, Nominations and By-Laws and approval by the Board, serve one final six-year term.
b. Upon the expiration of his or her original term or thereafter, a Trustee, having served an initial six-year term, shall be eligible for election to one additional six-year term.
c. In the event of an unexplained absence of any Trustee from three consecutive stated meetings of the Board of Trustees, the Board of Trustees may declare that said absence constitutes the resignation of such Trustee from the Board of Trustees.

5. Telephonic and Video Meetings. Any and all Trustees may participate in a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board by means of a telephone or video conference or by any other means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting are able to communicate with one another, and such participation shall constitute presence at the meeting and such Trustees may vote as if they were physically present.
6. Action Without a Meeting.

Overview Organization Name Johns Hopkins University Grant Project Title The project title should refer to the property and specific activity for which funding is being requested. Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Acknowledgement Please click this box to indicate that you have read and understand the guidelines, available HERE. Yes Project Design
Project Design Grant Project Summary and Importance Briefly describe the work that this grant (and matching funds) will support, what impact this project will have, and why this project is urgent. This description will be used to introduce the review panel to your project. (Word limit: 150) Homewood Museum proposes to restore its early 19th-century portico, located on the north side of its Palladian-style mansion once home to the Charles Carroll Jr. Family as well as many enslaved and indentured laborers. Areas of the portico are currently deteriorating with the potential of damaging its structural integrity if left unaddressed. The north portico serves as one point of access to the museum and is an important architectural feature of what is considered to be one of the region's best surviving examples of Federal period architecture. The grant and matching funds would support a structural assessment by an architectural consultant, restoration of upper fascia elements, rebuilding of the gutter structure, replacement of the existing portico roof with a matched roof, and the research, development, print, and distribution of a new self-guided exterior/grounds tour map featuring information documenting the restoration effort.
3/8/2021 87
Comprehensive Project Description Describe the overall project, including past and future phases of work as well as work funded through other sources. (Word limit: 300) Homewood Museum has prioritized the north portico restoration due to the age of its roof; its last replacement occurred in 1984 presumably as part of an overall restoration of the house for its opening as a museum.
First, an architectural consultant will assess the condition of the portico’s existing gutter system and provide updated architectural drawings for a custom solution whose modifications would only be visible from an aerial view. He would ensure the gutter system appropriately drains into the museum’s underground drainage system, replaced in mid-2017.
Selective demolition will follow - removal of the existing roof to the substrate, damaged gutter, crown, and cornice materials. The substrate will be examined; extensive repairs to its structure on a time and materials basis may be needed.
Existing pieces of crown molding and blocking will be salvaged to fabricate identical replacement trim from Sapele or similar wood species. Restored carpentry elements will be reinstalled. A new lead-coated copper roof comprised of 16”-wide panels will be fabricated and installed to match the demolished roof’s style. Installation includes perimeter metal for the eaves, and new apron, base, and counter-flashings. Gutter materials will be repaired and modifications completed per our architectural consultant. A coating shield for thermal and moisture protection will be applied. Exterior cornice work will be painted to match the existing exterior trim paint color.
Concurrent with restoration, as part of the project scope and matched with donor funding, Homewood Museum will develop a new exterior/grounds map for use on self-guided tours. The map will include information about the estate’s architecture, including a summary of the portico restoration and its significance, plus information about other points of interest such as the extant early 19th-century privy, carriage house, recreated orchard, and locations of non-extant buildings that further illuminate the experiences of Homewood’s enslaved population.

What will be the results of this project? What tangible and intangible deliverables do you anticipate? For tangible deliverables, specify the anticipated number of products, i.e. 12 restored windows, 1,500 square feet of exhibits, 5,000 brochures; for intangible deliverables, provide estimates, i.e. 500 new visitors, 150 new interactions with the public, 750 additional page views on your website. The intended results of this project include fully restored classical architectural features of the north portico, including the gutter system and crown, and approximately 16 meters of classically designed cornice material. Approximately 21 sq meters of portico roof will be replaced and fully waterproofed, protecting the underlying substrate from future damage. We also anticipate some repair to the underlying structure although we cannot quantify this until mobilization and selective demolition occurs. From a heritage tourism and operational perspective, Homewood Museum must have a safe, structurally intact roof ensuring the safety of all our museum staff, volunteers, and visitors while the area is in use. As part of our project scope, matching commitment, and mission to train emerging museum professionals (e.g., Baltimore-area undergraduate and graduate students) and interpret the site for the general public, Homewood Museum will distribute the first run of approximately 3,000 new Homewood exterior/landscape foldable maps, thereby educating the same number of visitors about exterior architectural elements (featuring the north portico) and further illuminate its historical landscape.

Budget Comments Provide any additional details about your budget line items that you would like share with grant reviewers. Pre-Construction
Homewood will employ the services of an architectural consultant, Ron Masotta, of Schamu Machowski & Patterson (SMP) Architects to develop final architectural drawings for a new, custom gutter system that will minimize overflow from significant rainfall. The drawings will be used by our preferred contractor, Delbert Adams Construction Group (DACG). Mr. Masotta will also ensure the gutter system design is compatible with underground drainage system improvements made to the museum perimeter in 2017. The consultant's hourly rate is $135 (based on past work with Homewood Museum), and we estimate approximately 37 hours of his time for deliverables.
Construction
Homewood Museum plans to hire DACG to complete the project’s construction phase. The scope and pricing of each budget subcategory are contained in the appended DACG proposal (Nov. 2019) and an updated, itemized bid of approximately $75,000 (Feb. 2021). Construction will be supported by MHAA grant funding, paired with matching funding provided by a private donor ($2,500; see an email confirmation in "Attachments" section) and Homewood Museum’s designated fund which helps support needed capital maintenance projects concerning the historic house (see the spreadsheet in "Attachments" section). Other project costs related to construction include a 20% contingency, acknowledging that the museum will not know the full extent of damage to underlying structures until the existing roof and cornices are removed.
Project Management
Homewood Museum will provide additional matching funding from its operating budget by way of project management, to be conducted by JHU Libraries & Museums’ Facilities Manager and Homewood Museum Director at a percentage of their full-time effort over the proposed 12-month project
3/8/2021 93
timeline. The Facilities Manager will liaise with MHT Easement staff, Baltimore City CHAP, and the contractor to manage the restoration project. The Homewood Museum Director will provide oversight to the full project scope, including the visitor education components. We also reflect their benefits, which is determined by our confirmed fringe benefits rate of 34% during FY22. Homewood Museum operates on a July 1–June 30 fiscal year.
Visitor Education
Homewood Museum will produce a visitor map expressly providing information about the historic house’s exterior architectural features (including the portico), outbuildings, and other points of interest that help connect Homewood and its diverse history to the surrounding landscape. The museum will develop, design, and print approximately 3,000 maps to distribute to museum and campus visitors at a cost of approximately $1.66 per map. The museum will identify and approach private donors to support this effort and will draw on operating funding as needed. Finally, other project costs related to visitor education include the salary of a Summer 2021 JHU undergraduate intern, supported by $1,500 in private donor funds (see Call for Applicants in "Attachments" section), who will research museum outbuildings and help develop copy about the portico restoration effort, all of which will inform the map’s content.
Of note, while the university provides the needed infrastructure to execute projects like these, Homewood Museum operates as a discrete unit within JHU and must successfully fundraise to see projects through to fruition.
Please upload any supporting documentation for your budget (e.g. estimates, correspondence containing pricing options, list prices for items described in the budget). If you need to upload multiple documents, you can upload the first document here, and any others on the Attachments page. Updated DACG Itemized Proposal_Feb2021.pdf Ongoing Maintenance How will ongoing maintenance costs be paid for in future years (if applicable)? Headed into the future, any ongoing maintenance costs will likely be drawn from our capital maintenance allocation. As with many museum projects, Homewood makes a significant effort to engage members, regular donors, and other stakeholders in providing financial support for capital projects as appropriate. We can envision a scenario where a donor or combination of donors would underwrite a future portico maintenance project.

Baltimore City Significance and Use Briefly discuss the property's historical significance, significance for community groups, if applicable, and how the property is used/will be used. Homewood Museum is one of the nation’s best surviving examples of Federal period architecture, a National Historic Landmark, and an architectural and naming precedent for Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus in northern Baltimore City. Opened as a historic house museum in 1987, Homewood sits on land initially known as “Merryman’s Lott.” Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a Maryland Signer of the Declaration of Independence, purchased the property in 1794 and in 1800 provided the funds to build a country house on the land as a wedding gift to son Charles Carroll, Jr., who planned and designed Homewood as a grand statement of his social standing.
Homewood house became part of the university during the early 20th century, was registered as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, and JHU alumnus Robert Merrick provided financial support for Homewood’s extensive restorations during the mid-1980s.
The building is known for its classical proportions, fine workmanship, and elegant details, all of which are reflected in its north portico construction. The portico’s (and Homewood’s overall) Palladian style was “on trend” when completed in 1803. The portico’s cornices are excellent examples of intricate woodwork. Remarkably, two of Homewood’s original outbuildings also survive today: the c. 1801 privy currently undergoing an interior restoration thanks to a grant from our local heritage area, and the c. 1803 carriage house (renamed to the Merrick Barn and current home to JHU’s Theater Program).
3/8/2021 95
Classical proportions were incorporated into Homewood’s grounds and landscape; the north portico area served as the center of a 128-foot radius – a measurement based on the length of the house - on which the extant privy sits. The north portico is considered an architectural and physical link between the main house and its historic landscape which can be interpreted as a working, country estate. At the time of Homewood’s construction, Baltimore’s city limits were far south of the house’s location, which was then still considered the county.
Because interior space at Homewood is extremely limited due to fire code restrictions, the north portico area has and continues to be important for events and public programs.

Maryland Heritage Areas Program Property Letter.pdf Urgency
Urgency Is this project urgent? Why does this project need to proceed at this time? What will happen if it does not? What part of the project needs to be completed most urgently? Yes, there is a threat to the integrity of the portico structure if identified problems are not addressed. We are concerned about sections of the roof collapsing if not repaired. Structurally, the portico roof and built-in gutters have very shallow slopes, making them vulnerable to the slightest roofing defect. As previously mentioned, existing lead-coated copper roofing dates from a mid-1980’s restoration. Over the decades, imperceptible fissures developed in the soldered seams, leaking water into the cornice, where signs of rot have begun to appear. The cornice rot has become more apparent within the last 12 – 18 months (see attached photos). Also, we are concerned about the condition of the substrate; these areas may need to be extensively repaired, and thus are noted as contingency costs within our project budget.
Temporary solutions are not possible since it is difficult to identify and fix 100% of leaks contributing to the damage, or to be sure of effectively resoldering aging metal seams. The solution is a new lead-coated copper roof and gutter system. Improvements to the gutter profile, visible only from
3/8/2021 97
above, will minimize overflows in heavy rains. This project is on MHT’s Easement Committee meeting agenda for March 9, 2021. Homewood received Authorization to Proceed from Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation on March 4, 2021.
We aim to complete this capital project in tandem with the museum’s privy restoration, a BNHA-funded project. Homewood Museum remains closed to the public due to the pandemic per Johns Hopkins’ phased reopening plan, and thus our capital project schedule has already been delayed by a year. We are prepared to commence work on these projects as soon as we have clearance and an appropriate liaison at the university level to resume capital projects, which we anticipate occurring in the coming months.
Impact
Impact How will completing this project accomplish the goals and objectives of your heritage area? You are encouraged to cite specific sections of your local heritage area's planning documents. Homewood’s Federal-era construction date makes us an exemplar of historic preservation; the museum has upheld its rich history for nearly a generation. We are specifically mentioned in BNHA’s 2013 Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) as a heritage and cultural resource - part of the varied architectural landscape which attracts visitors and “deserves to be protected and promoted (p. 2-10). The very nature of our building and its history ties Homewood to CMP Interpretive Theme 3B “Shaping a Monumental City: Architecture and Monuments (p. 6-9). Homewood’s architectural features are repeated throughout campus creating a visual link between the historic house and its modern surroundings. To that end, we plan to collaborate with our university colleagues who are involved in a campus-wide signage project to ensure that our content and style for both the project’s visitor map and future, outdoor interpretive signage is consistent with that of the rest of the institution.
3/8/2021 98
Homewood is both a teaching museum and a well-visited historic site. Our proposal to preserve key exterior architectural features, which tie into the historic outbuildings and historic landscape, complement the museum’s expanded interpretation. Visitor map content will explain how outbuildings functioned as part of the estate’s workspace for enslaved laborers at Homewood. This interpretation reflects the difficult histories of the enslaved individuals and families who labored on the original Homewood House and Farm - supporting CMP Interpretive Theme 4B “Gaining Freedom for All: Slavery in Baltimore.”
Describe how this project will address one or more of the Maryland Heritage Area's Program's three areas of focus. The three areas of focus are: Developing Heritage Tourism Product; Building Partnerships; and Sustaining Regional Identity. You can find more about the areas of focus and the overall goals of the Maryland Heritage Areas Program in our strategic plan, which can be found HERE. Sustaining Regional Identity: our project will speak to the preservation of the historic Charles Street corridor, a National Historic Byway. This is relevant because the University Museums (Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library, located two miles to the north at 4545 N. Charles Street) are now jointly directed by Lori Finkelstein as of January 2021. Taken together, the museums tell a crucial story about the development of Baltimore and America between the years 1800 and 1950. The museums address core issues that shaped the city, stories of free and enslaved laborers, stories of immigrants, domestic strife, and the urban development of a major American city. It also speaks to MHAA’s strategic plan goal to “foster linkages among and between heritage attractions so visitors can explore, linger, and sample the diverse offerings of the state’s distinctive regions” (MHAA 2010-2020 Strategic Plan, p. 7).
Developing Heritage Tourism Product: this project will include a map providing visitors with an opportunity to take a self-guided tour of Homewood Museum’s exterior and grounds, which are part of Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus. Information will include the portico restoration effort, and featured points of interest will include an original outbuilding (privy) sited using classical scales/proportions and a historical reproduction of a working orchard containing heirloom fruit trees that would have appeared in early American orchards of the mid-Atlantic. This new map will help us leverage our position at the main entrance to the university’s campus, which sees a large volume of visitors and foot traffic.
3/8/2021 99
Does your project address diverse or inclusive historical narratives? If so, please provide details. We are particularly interested in supporting projects that will highlight under- told narratives about Maryland's past. Some examples include the history and cultural traditions of African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, immigrants, women, LGBTQ communities, or people with disabilities. Our project addresses diverse historical narratives. Our precedent to build upon is an award-winning tour (Best of Baltimore 2019, Baltimore Magazine) incorporating documented histories of enslaved and indentured populations who lived and labored at the site during the early 19th century. Our updated interpretation was supported by an MHAA project grant and a BNHA small capital grant. New wayfaring and interpretation signs at both the orchard and at the privy (upon completion of our existing small capital grant project to restore it) will additionally highlight our inclusive narrative.
As part of this proposed project’s scope, a new self-guided museum exterior and grounds tour map will address aspects of 19th-century country living at an estate designed by a member of one of Maryland’s largest slave-owning families, and its surrounding land worked by agricultural laborers. These narratives will give context to physical points of interest such as the privy, orchard, carriage house, and approximate sites of non-extant outbuildings such as living quarters for the house’s enslaved workers. The map will be easily accessible to tourists and casual visitors at Homewood and will address the history of slavery at the site in the context of the larger story of slavery in Federal-era Baltimore.
Finally, it is worth noting that Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library (together known as the University Museums) are key partners in a $4.1M, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded JHU project to more fully explore difficult histories in Baltimore to expand national cultural narratives surrounding diversity.
Access & Outreach
Access and Outreach Describe the anticipated benefits of your completed project for tourists, k-12 students, and/or local community members. Homewood Museum is arguably a historic Baltimore gem. Preservation of the museum's interior and exterior architecture is a crucial part of its appeal to heritage tourists and visitors. Features and the grounds on the north side of
3/8/2021 100
Homewood (the "back" of the estate) particularly speak to the museum's updated narrative interpreting the lives of documented enslaved populations on the original property. Illuminating these stories are an important part of the 21st-century museum-goer's experience and part of larger, university- wide efforts to document and publicly discuss “difficult histories” at JHU. The university recently joined The Universities Studying Slavery (USS) consortium and is committed to reckoning with its past connections to slavery.
Homewood Museum is part of prospective JHU student tours, exposing high school-aged youth to exterior views of the estate. Oftentimes prospective students and their families will stop by Homewood Museum following their campus tour. On the completion of the project, we will be able to offer casual visitors an optional, self-guided tour using a take-home map. Creating interpretive content for the exterior of the building and grounds will make the museum’s story accessible to people who might not have the time or interest in a standard museum tour but are open to education about Homewood architecture and the people who labored to construct and maintain it.
Finally, the museum porticos often serve as focal points/locations of public events. New wayfinding signage will enable people who are in the vicinity of the house to learn more about its historical significance.
What provisions exist or will be made for physical or programmatic access by individuals with disabilities? We have a newly redesigned, internally managed website (museums.jhu.edu), where we can easily adapt and make accessible the interpretive content of the self-guided grounds tour map. We plan to continue offering virtual programming post-pandemic because it has allowed us to access audiences who haven’t visited in the past due to various personal limitations and due to the museum’s space limitations. More broadly, during FY 2020 Homewood conducted a feasibility study of the museum’s capacity for an ADA upgrade in the coming years and is in the process of assessing results. Homewood’s more popular in-person lecture series are typically presented in ADA-compliant academic buildings on the university campus.
3/8/2021 101
How will you ensure that your intended audiences will learn about your site or project? How are you making information available about the history of the site or resource? Do you have a website? How will public inquiries or tour requests be handled? How will brochures or informational materials be distributed? While MHAA project grant funds are not permitted to directly support marketing materials and activities, applicants are encouraged to include marketing costs for the project as part of their matching contribution, if applicable. We will publicize the restoration progress and results on museums.jhu.edu, via our significant social media presence (combined Instagram and Facebook followers nearing 2,100), and through distribution lists (circulation: 6,000+).
The pandemic has increased our capacity to create digital content, expanding our reach throughout and even outside our region. Online events capture new contact information – thus, via updated distribution lists we can tap into a growing audience. Homewood has renewed its commitment to producing an annual architectural lecture series to reach interested audiences with opportunities to learn about Maryland’s architectural heritage. In Fall 2021, Homewood will plan public programming exploring Baltimore’s early nineteenth-century country estates where the portico restoration will be addressed in detail.
Onsite admissions are processed in our gift shop. The self-guided tour map will be available for purchase there. Our shop staff and volunteers will ensure each visitor knows about this resource.
What is the annual visitation at your site? This can include physical visitation numbers, special events, and virtual visitors. Like many museums during the Covid-19 pandemic, Homewood's annual visitation numbers have been severely impacted. Pre-pandemic, our annual visitation was approximately 5,000, of which 2,200 – 3,000 were paid admissions. The museum has been closed to the public since March of 2020, however, we have maintained a sense of business as usual by pivoting to online lectures and events. Virtual registrants have numbered approximately 1,080 since the summer of 2020. We will continue a level of virtual programming post-pandemic. Once the museum can reopen at a limited capacity, we anticipate annual visitation (physical + virtual) to return to normal levels.
3/8/2021 102
What hours per day, days per week, and months per year will the project / property be open to the public? If the project will not be open regular hours, please indicate how access will be made available. We anticipate opening with modified capacity levels later in 2021 and anticipate resuming normal operations in 2022. While Homewood Museum is currently closed to the public, it continues public outreach through virtual events and educational series. When the museum reopens, it will do so with expanded weekend and evening hours as follows: Monday–closed; Tuesday 11–4; Wednesday 11–4; Thursday 2-8; Friday - Sunday 11-4. Staff remain accessible to the public via email for research requests and general inquires Monday-Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Virtual events have been taking place during the above operating hours.
What amenities are or will be available to the public at the property? This includes restrooms, water, parking, interpretation (guided tours, self- guided tours, signage, brochures), etc. In terms of travel, Homewood Museum has free parking at a small visitor lot available a short, flat walk away from Homewood Museum. Street parking is available along North Charles Street, approximately a 5-minute walk from the museum. Homewood is also accessible by public transport via MTA local bus route #51 stop at 33rd and North Charles Streets.
Interpretation includes guided tours featuring diverse narratives of all who occupied Homewood during its interpretive period (1801–1825), anticipated self-guided tours (of exterior/grounds), informational brochures provided by docents, and outdoor waysides with interpretive content.
Restrooms are available on site. While visitors are not allowed to bring their water into the gallery spaces or on tour, we do have a water fountain located downstairs by the bathroom. Additional food and drink can be purchased at nearby campus eateries.
Finally, visitors enter and exit through the museum gift shop, where souvenirs can be purchased.

Discuss -- if applicable -- any similar projects you have completed in the past, previous grants you have managed, and/or longstanding connections you have with communities and partner organizations that have positioned you to complete this project. Johns Hopkins Museums (comprised of applicant Homewood Museum, and Evergreen Museum & Library located approximately two miles to the north along storied Charles Street), managed under one director (Dr. Finkelstein), have a long and successful history of completing historic preservation projects. These include:
A BNHA small capital grant, in progress through early 2022, to restore the interior of the museum’s original privy outbuilding. The structure is one of just a handful of extant privies of brick construction in the mid-Atlantic dating to the Federal era.
A Baltimore National Heritage Area grant, completed in 2018, allowed us to refurbish a basement-level meeting space and install an interpretation plaque describing its likely historical use by Homewood’s enslaved population.
At Evergreen Museum, a historic preservation project to stabilize and restore its large checkerboard terrace adjacent to the John Work Garrett Library was completed in late 2019. Our general contractor for this project was Delbert Adams Construction Group.
Finally, Homewood Museum in 2019 completed an MHAA-funded project which incorporated the history of Homewood’s early 19th-century enslaved population into the museum’s interpretation, earning it a preservation award from Baltimore Heritage and recognition in Baltimore Magazine’s annual “Best of Baltimore” in 2019. Our projects, programs, and exhibitions since that time have aligned with this inclusive reinterpretation.

Consultants and Partners Identify any key individuals outside of the applicant organization who were consulted in the development of this grant application or who will be involved in this project (i.e. contractors, consultants or partners). Include the name, title, company name, and the role they will play. Please note that you may be required to solicit 2-3 written bids before selecting a contractor (see pages 8-9 of the MHAA Grants Manual for details). Due to the project scope, Homewood has sought and received multiple bids on this project in preparation to quickly mobilize.
We would like to employ Delbert Adams Construction Group (DACG) as our contractor. Homewood’s contact is Kevin Atkinson, Project Manager. DACG is trusted by JHU and most recently managed the aforementioned Evergreen Museum & Library Terrace restoration project. DACG is reputed for being a skilled general contractor. Because this project involves many different architectural features, structural elements, and materials it will greatly benefit from a GC who can hire trusted subcontractors specializing in each aspect. We have solicited and received an updated, itemized bid (see attachment below) to complement their late-2019 proposal.
C&H Restoration and Renovation was our secondary bid. They are our current contractor for Homewood’s privy interior restoration project because of their woodworking expertise. Following university and stakeholder procedures we plan to solicit an updated, written bid from C&H before officially selecting a project contractor.
Ron Masotta, senior associate and project architect at SM+P Architects, is Homewood’s trusted architectural consultant, who has provided us expertise on several prior maintenance and restoration projects. He has already carefully redlined a solution to the north portico gutter system and will finalize recommendations as part of this project’s scope. SM+P Architects is a

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City PROJECT TITLE: Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico
PROJECT SUMMARY:
Homewood Museum proposes to restore its early 19th-century portico, located on the north side of its Palladian-style mansion once home to the Charles Carroll Jr. Family as well as many enslaved and indentured laborers. Areas of the portico are currently deteriorating with the potential of damaging its structural integrity if left unaddressed. The north portico serves as one point of access to the museum and is an important architectural feature of what is considered to be one of the region's best surviving examples of Federal period architecture. The grant and matching funds would support a structural assessment by an architectural consultant, restoration of upper fascia elements, rebuilding of the gutter structure, replacement of the existing portico roof with a matched roof, and the research, development, print, and distribution of a new self-guided exterior/grounds tour map featuring information documenting the restoration effort.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Comprehensive Project Description
Homewood Museum has prioritized the north portico restoration due to the age of its roof; its last replacement occurred in 1984 presumably as part of an overall restoration of the house for its opening as a museum.
First, an architectural consultant will assess the condition of the portico’s existing gutter system and provide updated architectural drawings for a custom solution whose modifications would only be visible from an aerial view. He would ensure the gutter system appropriately drains into the museum’s underground drainage system, replaced in mid-2017.
Selective demolition will follow - removal of the existing roof to the substrate, damaged gutter, crown, and cornice materials. The substrate will be examined; extensive repairs to its structure on a time and materials basis may be needed.
Existing pieces of crown molding and blocking will be salvaged to fabricate identical replacement trim from Sapele or similar wood species. Restored carpentry elements will be reinstalled. A new lead-coated copper roof comprised of 16”-wide panels will be fabricated and installed to match the demolished roof’s style. Installation includes perimeter metal for the eaves, and new apron, base, and counter- flashings. Gutter materials will be repaired and modifications completed per our architectural consultant. A coating shield for thermal and moisture protection will be applied. Exterior cornice work will be painted to match the existing exterior trim paint color.

Concurrent with restoration, as part of the project scope and matched with donor funding, Homewood Museum will develop a new exterior/grounds map for use on self-guided tours. The map will include information about the estate’s architecture, including a summary of the portico restoration and its significance, plus information about other points of interest such as the extant early 19th-century privy, carriage house, recreated orchard, and locations of non-extant buildings that further illuminate the experiences of Homewood’s enslaved population.
How will completing this project accomplish the goals and objectives of your heritage area?
Homewood’s Federal-era construction date makes us an exemplar of historic preservation; the museum has upheld its rich history for nearly a generation. We are specifically mentioned in BNHA’s 2013 Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) as a heritage and cultural resource - part of the varied architectural landscape which attracts visitors and “deserves to be protected and promoted (p. 2-10). The very nature of our building and its history ties Homewood to CMP Interpretive Theme 3B “Shaping a Monumental City: Architecture and Monuments (p. 6-9). Homewood’s architectural features are repeated throughout campus creating a visual link between the historic house and its modern surroundings. To that end, we plan to collaborate with our university colleagues who are involved in a campus-wide signage project to ensure that our content and style for both the project’s visitor map and future, outdoor interpretive signage is consistent with that of the rest of the institution.
Homewood is both a teaching museum and a well-visited historic site. Our proposal to preserve key exterior architectural features, which tie into the historic outbuildings and historic landscape, complement the museum’s expanded interpretation. Visitor map content will explain how outbuildings functioned as part of the estate’s workspace for enslaved laborers at Homewood. This interpretation reflects the difficult histories of the enslaved individuals and families who labored on the original Homewood House and Farm - supporting CMP Interpretive Theme 4B “Gaining Freedom for All: Slavery in Baltimore.”
DELIVERABLES:
What will be the results of this project? What tangible and intangible deliverables do you anticipate?
The intended results of this project include fully restored classical architectural features of the north portico, including the gutter system and crown, and approximately 16 meters of classically designed cornice material. Approximately 21 sq meters of portico roof will be replaced and fully waterproofed, protecting the underlying substrate from future damage. We also anticipate some repair to the underlying structure although we cannot quantify this until mobilization and selective demolition

From a heritage tourism and operational perspective, Homewood Museum must have a safe, structurally intact roof ensuring the safety of all our museum staff, volunteers, and visitors while the area is in use. As part of our project scope, matching commitment, and mission to train emerging museum professionals (e.g., Baltimore-area undergraduate and graduate students) and interpret the site for the general public, Homewood Museum will distribute the first run of approximately 3,000 new Homewood exterior/landscape foldable maps, thereby educating the same number of visitors about exterior architectural elements (featuring the north portico) and further illuminate its historical landscape.
How will ongoing maintenance costs be paid for in future years (if applicable)?
Headed into the future, any ongoing maintenance costs will likely be drawn from our capital maintenance allocation. As with many museum projects, Homewood makes a significant effort to engage members, regular donors, and other stakeholders in providing financial support for capital projects as appropriate. We can envision a scenario where a donor or combination of donors would underwrite a future portico maintenance project.

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City Provide any additional details about your budget line items that you would like share with grant reviewers.
Pre-Construction
Homewood will employ the services of an architectural consultant, Ron Masotta, of Schamu Machowski & Patterson (SMP) Architects to develop final architectural drawings for a new, custom gutter system that will minimize overflow from significant rainfall. The drawings will be used by our preferred contractor, Delbert Adams Construction Group (DACG). Mr. Masotta will also ensure the gutter system design is compatible with underground drainage system improvements made to the museum perimeter in 2017. The consultant's hourly rate is $135 (based on past work with Homewood Museum), and we estimate approximately 37 hours of his time for deliverables.
Construction
Homewood Museum plans to hire DACG to complete the project’s construction phase. The scope and pricing of each budget subcategory are contained in the appended DACG proposal (Nov. 2019) and an updated, itemized bid of approximately $75,000 (Feb. 2021). Construction will be supported by MHAA grant funding, paired with matching funding provided by a private donor ($2,500; see an email confirmation in "Attachments" section) and Homewood Museum’s designated fund which helps support needed capital maintenance projects concerning the historic house (see the spreadsheet in "Attachments" section). Other project costs related to construction include a 20% contingency, acknowledging that the museum will not know the full extent of damage to underlying structures until the existing roof and cornices are removed.
Project Management
Homewood Museum will provide additional matching funding from its operating budget by way of project management, to be conducted by JHU Libraries & Museums’ Facilities Manager and Homewood Museum Director at a percentage of their full-time effort over the proposed 12-month project timeline. The Facilities Manager will liaise with MHT Easement staff, Baltimore City CHAP, and the contractor to manage the restoration project. The Homewood Museum Director will provide oversight to the full project scope, including the visitor education components. We also reflect their benefits, which is

Visitor Education
Homewood Museum will produce a visitor map expressly providing information about the historic house’s exterior architectural features (including the portico), outbuildings, and other points of interest that help connect Homewood and its diverse history to the surrounding landscape. The museum will develop, design, and print approximately 3,000 maps to distribute to museum and campus visitors at a cost of approximately $1.66 per map. The museum will identify and approach private donors to support this effort and will draw on operating funding as needed. Finally, other project costs related to visitor education include the salary of a Summer 2021 JHU undergraduate intern, supported by $1,500 in private donor funds (see Call for Applicants in "Attachments" section), who will research museum outbuildings and help develop copy about the portico restoration effort, all of which will inform the map’s content.
Of note, while the university provides the needed infrastructure to execute projects like these, Homewood Museum operates as a discrete unit within JHU and must successfully fundraise to see projects through to fruition.

URGENCY:
Is this project urgent?
Yes, there is a threat to the integrity of the portico structure if identified problems are not addressed. We are concerned about sections of the roof collapsing if not repaired. Structurally, the portico roof and built-in gutters have very shallow slopes, making them vulnerable to the slightest roofing defect. As previously mentioned, existing lead-coated copper roofing dates from a mid-1980’s restoration. Over the decades, imperceptible fissures developed in the soldered seams, leaking water into the cornice, where signs of rot have begun to appear. The cornice rot has become more apparent within the last 12 – 18 months (see attached photos). Also, we are concerned about the condition of the substrate; these areas may need to be extensively repaired, and thus are noted as contingency costs within our project budget.
Temporary solutions are not possible since it is difficult to identify and fix 100% of leaks contributing to the damage, or to be sure of effectively resoldering aging metal seams. The solution is a new lead- coated copper roof and gutter system. Improvements to the gutter profile, visible only from above, will minimize overflows in heavy rains. This project is on MHT’s Easement Committee meeting agenda for March 9, 2021. Homewood received Authorization to Proceed from Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation on March 4, 2021.
We aim to complete this capital project in tandem with the museum’s privy restoration, a BNHA-funded project. Homewood Museum remains closed to the public due to the pandemic per Johns Hopkins’ phased reopening plan, and thus our capital project schedule has already been delayed by a year. We are prepared to commence work on these projects as soon as we have clearance and an appropriate liaison at the university level to resume capital projects, which we anticipate occurring in the coming months.
IMPACT:
Describe how this project will address one or more of the Maryland Heritage Area's Program's three areas of focus.
Sustaining Regional Identity: our project will speak to the preservation of the historic Charles Street corridor, a National Historic Byway. This is relevant because the University Museums (Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library, located two miles to the north at 4545 N. Charles Street) are now jointly directed by Lori Finkelstein as of January 2021. Taken together, the museums tell a crucial story about the development of Baltimore and America between the years 1800 and 1950. The

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City museums address core issues that shaped the city, stories of free and enslaved laborers, stories of immigrants, domestic strife, and the urban development of a major American city. It also speaks to MHAA’s strategic plan goal to “foster linkages among and between heritage attractions so visitors can explore, linger, and sample the diverse offerings of the state’s distinctive regions” (MHAA 2010-2020 Strategic Plan, p. 7).
Developing Heritage Tourism Product: this project will include a map providing visitors with an opportunity to take a self-guided tour of Homewood Museum’s exterior and grounds, which are part of Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus. Information will include the portico restoration effort, and featured points of interest will include an original outbuilding (privy) sited using classical scales/proportions and a historical reproduction of a working orchard containing heirloom fruit trees that would have appeared in early American orchards of the mid-Atlantic. This new map will help us leverage our position at the main entrance to the university’s campus, which sees a large volume of visitors and foot traffic.
Does your project address diverse or inclusive historical narratives? If so, please provide details.
Our project addresses diverse historical narratives. Our precedent to build upon is an award-winning tour (Best of Baltimore 2019, Baltimore Magazine) incorporating documented histories of enslaved and indentured populations who lived and labored at the site during the early 19th century. Our updated interpretation was supported by an MHAA project grant and a BNHA small capital grant. New wayfaring and interpretation signs at both the orchard and at the privy (upon completion of our existing small capital grant project to restore it) will additionally highlight our inclusive narrative.
As part of this proposed project’s scope, a new self-guided museum exterior and grounds tour map will address aspects of 19th-century country living at an estate designed by a member of one of Maryland’s largest slave-owning families, and its surrounding land worked by agricultural laborers. These narratives will give context to physical points of interest such as the privy, orchard, carriage house, and approximate sites of non-extant outbuildings such as living quarters for the house’s enslaved workers. The map will be easily accessible to tourists and casual visitors at Homewood and will address the history of slavery at the site in the context of the larger story of slavery in Federal-era Baltimore.
Finally, it is worth noting that Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library (together known as the University Museums) are key partners in a $4.1M, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded JHU project to more fully explore difficult histories in Baltimore to expand national cultural narratives surrounding diversity.

ACCESS & OUTREACH:
Describe the anticipated benefits of your completed project for tourists, k-12 students, and/or local community members.
Homewood Museum is arguably a historic Baltimore gem. Preservation of the museum's interior and exterior architecture is a crucial part of its appeal to heritage tourists and visitors. Features and the grounds on the north side of Homewood (the "back" of the estate) particularly speak to the museum's updated narrative interpreting the lives of documented enslaved populations on the original property. Illuminating these stories are an important part of the 21st-century museum-goer's experience and part of larger, university-wide efforts to document and publicly discuss “difficult histories” at JHU. The university recently joined The Universities Studying Slavery (USS) consortium and is committed to reckoning with its past connections to slavery.
Homewood Museum is part of prospective JHU student tours, exposing high school-aged youth to exterior views of the estate. Oftentimes prospective students and their families will stop by Homewood Museum following their campus tour. On the completion of the project, we will be able to offer casual visitors an optional, self-guided tour using a take-home map. Creating interpretive content for the exterior of the building and grounds will make the museum’s story accessible to people who might not have the time or interest in a standard museum tour but are open to education about Homewood architecture and the people who labored to construct and maintain it.
Finally, the museum porticos often serve as focal points/locations of public events. New wayfinding signage will enable people who are in the vicinity of the house to learn more about its historical significance.

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City What provisions exist or will be made for physical or programmatic access by individuals with disabilities?
We have a newly redesigned, internally managed website (museums.jhu.edu), where we can easily adapt and make accessible the interpretive content of the self-guided grounds tour map. We plan to continue offering virtual programming post-pandemic because it has allowed us to access audiences who haven’t visited in the past due to various personal limitations and due to the museum’s space limitations. More broadly, during FY 2020 Homewood conducted a feasibility study of the museum’s capacity for an ADA upgrade in the coming years and is in the process of assessing results. Homewood’s more popular in-person lecture series are typically presented in ADA-compliant academic buildings on the university campus.
How will you ensure that your intended audiences will learn about your site or project?
We will publicize the restoration progress and results on museums.jhu.edu, via our significant social media presence (combined Instagram and Facebook followers nearing 2,100), and through distribution lists (circulation: 6,000+).
The pandemic has increased our capacity to create digital content, expanding our reach throughout and even outside our region. Online events capture new contact information – thus, via updated distribution lists we can tap into a growing audience. Homewood has renewed its commitment to producing an annual architectural lecture series to reach interested audiences with opportunities to learn about Maryland’s architectural heritage. In Fall 2021, Homewood will plan public programming exploring Baltimore’s early nineteenth-century country estates where the portico restoration will be addressed in detail.
Onsite admissions are processed in our gift shop. The self-guided tour map will be available for purchase there. Our shop staff and volunteers will ensure each visitor knows about this resource.
What is the annual visitation at your site?
Like many museums during the Covid-19 pandemic, Homewood's annual visitation numbers have been severely impacted. Pre-pandemic, our annual visitation was approximately 5,000, of which 2,200 – 3,000 were paid admissions. The museum has been closed to the public since March of 2020, however, we have maintained a sense of business as usual by pivoting to online lectures and events. Virtual registrants have numbered approximately 1,080 since the summer of 2020. We will continue a level of virtual programming post-pandemic. Once the museum can reopen at a limited capacity, we anticipate annual visitation (physical + virtual) to return to normal levels.

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City A BNHA small capital grant, in progress through early 2022, to restore the interior of the museum’s original privy outbuilding. The structure is one of just a handful of extant privies of brick construction in the mid-Atlantic dating to the Federal era.
A Baltimore National Heritage Area grant, completed in 2018, allowed us to refurbish a basement-level meeting space and install an interpretation plaque describing its likely historical use by Homewood’s enslaved population.
At Evergreen Museum, a historic preservation project to stabilize and restore its large checkerboard terrace adjacent to the John Work Garrett Library was completed in late 2019. Our general contractor for this project was Delbert Adams Construction Group.
Finally, Homewood Museum in 2019 completed an MHAA-funded project which incorporated the history of Homewood’s early 19th-century enslaved population into the museum’s interpretation, earning it a preservation award from Baltimore Heritage and recognition in Baltimore Magazine’s annual “Best of Baltimore” in 2019. Our projects, programs, and exhibitions since that time have aligned with this inclusive reinterpretation.
Identify any key individuals within the applicant organization (staff, board members, or volunteers) who will be involved in the implementation of this project, in addition to the primary contact identified on the "Applicant" tab.
Lori Finkelstein, Ph.D. Director, Homewood Museum and Evergreen Museum & Library. Dr. Finkelstein has more than 20 years of experience in museum and cultural institutions as an educator, historian, and administrator. Dr. Finkelstein will provide oversight to the complete project which includes both capital restoration and visitor education components. She will also ensure that the project is completed on schedule, within the parameters of the budget, and collaborate with additional staff and donors as needed to ensure the 1:1 grant match. Finally, Dr. Finkelstein will ensure that the project meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Restoration.
Cecilia Etzel, MS. Associate Director of Facilities, Sheridan Libraries and University Museums. Ms. Etzel has 18 years of relevant experience and for several years has managed capital improvement projects for both university museum properties (Evergreen and Homewood Museums) in addition to the Sheridan Libraries. Ms. Etzel will act as the on-site liaison with our project consultant and contractor, ensuring the restoration is completed properly. She will also liaise with MHT and the City of Baltimore concerning our Application for Exterior Alteration and permits process.

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City Identify any key individuals outside of the applicant organization who were consulted in the development of this grant application or who will be involved in this project (i.e. contractors, consultants or partners).
Due to the project scope, Homewood has sought and received multiple bids on this project in preparation to quickly mobilize.
We would like to employ Delbert Adams Construction Group (DACG) as our contractor. Homewood’s contact is Kevin Atkinson, Project Manager. DACG is trusted by JHU and most recently managed the aforementioned Evergreen Museum & Library Terrace restoration project. DACG is reputed for being a skilled general contractor. Because this project involves many different architectural features, structural elements, and materials it will greatly benefit from a GC who can hire trusted subcontractors specializing in each aspect. We have solicited and received an updated, itemized bid (see attachment below) to complement their late-2019 proposal.
C&H Restoration and Renovation was our secondary bid. They are our current contractor for Homewood’s privy interior restoration project because of their woodworking expertise. Following university and stakeholder procedures we plan to solicit an updated, written bid from C&H before officially selecting a project contractor.
Ron Masotta, senior associate and project architect at SM+P Architects, is Homewood’s trusted architectural consultant, who has provided us expertise on several prior maintenance and restoration projects. He has already carefully redlined a solution to the north portico gutter system and will finalize recommendations as part of this project’s scope. SM+P Architects is a Baltimore architecture firm noted for its historic preservation work on sites such as the B&O Railroad Museum and the historic Bromo Seltzer tower (both Baltimore City Landmarks, like Homewood).

also known colloquially as Homewood House
Homewood Museum is one of the nation’s best surviving examples of Federal period architecture, a National Historic Landmark, and an architectural and naming precedent for Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus in northern Baltimore City. Opened as a historic house museum in 1987, Homewood sits on land initially known as “Merryman’s Lott.” Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a Maryland Signer of the Declaration of Independence, purchased the property in 1794 and in 1800 provided the funds to build a country house on the land as a wedding gift to son Charles Carroll, Jr., who planned and designed Homewood as a grand statement of his social standing.
Homewood house became part of the university during the early 20th century, was registered as a National Historic Landmark in 1971, and JHU alumnus Robert Merrick provided financial support for Homewood’s extensive restorations during the mid-1980s.
The building is known for its classical proportions, fine workmanship, and elegant details, all of which are reflected in its north portico construction. The portico’s (and Homewood’s overall) Palladian style was “on trend” when completed in 1803. The portico’s cornices are excellent examples of intricate woodwork. Remarkably, two of Homewood’s original outbuildings also survive today: the c. 1801 privy currently undergoing an interior restoration thanks to a grant from our local heritage area, and the c. 1803 carriage house (renamed to the Merrick Barn and current home to JHU’s Theater Program).

The Johns Hopkins University Restoring Homewood Museum's Palladian North Portico Request: $46,132.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $46,132.00 Baltimore City Classical proportions were incorporated into Homewood’s grounds and landscape; the north portico area served as the center of a 128-foot radius – a measurement based on the length of the house - on which the extant privy sits. The north portico is considered an architectural and physical link between the main house and its historic landscape which can be interpreted as a working, country estate. At the time of Homewood’s construction, Baltimore’s city limits were far south of the house’s location, which was then still considered the county.
Because interior space at Homewood is extremely limited due to fire code restrictions, the north portico area has and continues to be important for events and public programs.
Does MHT hold an easement on this property? Yes

Hi Kate,
I hope this message finds you well and navigating this crazy COVID world OK!
We noticed about a year ago that the roof, gutter, & crown above the North Portico at Homewood Museum is showing signs of some rather concerning damage/deterioration. We are planning to address this issue in the coming months. I’ve filled out MHT’s application to the best of my ability, with the caveat that we don’t really know the extent of the damage until we remove some of the existing roof and crown materials and have a look inside. I’ve also included a set of drawings from the 1984 roof restoration project that were redlined by Ron Masotta, our trusted architect from SMP.
Please let me know if you have any questions as you review the application.
Many thanks,
Cecilia

Delbert Adams Construction Group: Past Work with Johns Hopkins University Museums
Evergreen Museum & Library, in late 2019, restored its raised outdoor terrace adjoining the Main Library. The terrace is a prominent feature of the museum, built off the famed John Work Garrett Main Library; nearly every museum guest walks past this feature on their way to the museum entrance. Delbert Adams Construction Group served as the project’s general contractor. The results created a more welcoming view for visitors and will allow for it to be a staging area for events and programs, hosted by both the museum for outreach and by the museum’s private events program. Before and after pictures of the project are contained below.

EXHIBITION AN ONGOING EXPLORATION OF HOMEWOOD'S UNTOLD HISTORY A multiyear research project examines the stories of the slaves who lived and worked at the property that would become Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus
Bret McCabe / May 16, 2018 Enslaved families once lived and worked for the people who owned the land that Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus now occupies.
Simply acknowledging that fact and exploring the historical significance of it occupies the heart of a multiyear research project at Johns Hopkins, part of a broader movement toward reconsidering the way we talk and think about historic house museums and heritage sites in
3/8/2021 55165 Application PDF
America. The project inspired a spring semester class on the topic as well as a new, soon-to- debut tour script at Homewood Museum.
"WE'RE TRYING TO RETHINK THE STORIES WE PRESENT HERE AND SHIFT TOWARD A SOCIAL HISTORY FOCUS." —Julie Rose Curator and director, Homewood Museum
"We're trying to rethink the stories we present here and shift toward a social history focus," says Julie Rose, the museum's director and curator.
The Palladian-style, Federal-era mansion that is home to Homewood Museum was built in the early 19th century for Charles Carroll of Homewood; his wife, Harriet Chew Carroll; and their five children. Rose notes that since it opened as a museum in 1987, the curatorial focus has been similar to that of most historic house museums in the latter half of the 20th century, with a focus on the architecture of the building and its affluent principal occupants.
Charles Carroll of Homewood came from one of Maryland's most distinguished families. His father, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, was a Declaration of Independence signatory and Maryland's first senator. His grandfather, Charles Carroll of Annapolis, was the son of one of Maryland's early settlers, Charles Carroll the Settler, who acquired nearly 50,000 acres of land before his death in 1720. That land produced tobacco, cotton, wheat, and other grains, and it provided a fair share of the family's wealth over the next two centuries. And from the time of Charles Carroll the Settler's arrival in 1688 on through emancipation, the Carroll family was one of the largest slave-owning families in the state.
View image gallery
The Homewood estate was never a large-scale working farm, but it was an affluent family's country house and home to several families. Rose says that, to their current knowledge, up to 36 enslaved people lived at Homewood when the Carrolls were there.
3/8/2021 56166 Application PDF
"The new tour, Families at Homewood, focuses on three of the families that lived at Homewood: two enslaved and one that was slave-holding," Rose says. "We're telling the stories of Cis and Izadod Conner, who raised a family here. They had six children and, later, they had as many as 13 children. What happened to them? What were their lives like? These are the kinds of questions we can ask when we start to look at this [historic house] with fresh eyes."
More Than A Name: Enslaved Families at Historic Homewood, an exhibition co-curated by eight undergraduates in a spring 2018 class offered by the Program in Museums and Society, focuses on those three families: the Carrolls, the Conners, and William and Becky Ross and their children. The exhibition, which runs through May 27, grew out of the "Enslaved at Homewood" research project, an effort to uncover more information about these enslaved families and individuals that is funded by a Maryland Heritage Areas Authority grant.
"The historic house story has traditionally always been about the family, the white family that owned the house," says Abby Burch Schreiber, the researcher who, along with Rose, taught the More Than a Name class and co-curated the exhibition. "As a way to kind of emerge from that tradition in a fresh way, we're thinking of families. The family, and the numerous families here —because there has never been a concerted effort to systematically understand even the basic circumstances of slavery here."
Schreiber, who graduated from Johns Hopkins in 2006 with degrees in history and anthropology, worked as a Homewood Museum staff member for a year before going on to earn a PhD in history. Her dissertation focused on Baltimore merchants from 1790 to 1830.
Catherine Rogers Arthur, Homewood Museum's previous director and curator, knew of Julie Rose and Abby Burch Schreiber Schreiber's interest and expertise in mid-Atlantic IMAGE : WILL KIRK / JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY material culture and history during the era of Homewood 's construction and early years, so she reached out to her about the "Enslaved at Homewood" project.
"As we started this project about three and a half years ago, family letters were mostly what we used," Schreiber says. "Those were the sources that we had available."
In April 2015, Schreiber delivered a talk during an alumni weekend panel discussion that drew heavily on stories she gleaned from Carroll family correspondence and newspapers. Titled "Enslaved at Homewood: Sources on Individual Experiences," it was a frank, sobering discussion of the people and what their lives might have been like. Schreiber made clear that if one of the missions of a museum is to tell the stories of history, leaving out certain participants in that history paints an incomplete picture.

"You can't understand an estate like Homewood, a farm that had agricultural laborers but also a grand mansion that had a number of household staff, [without understanding the people who were doing the work]," Schreiber said during the talk, noting that Homewood was part of a larger system of labor and agriculture among the Carroll family properties. The story of the Carrolls and their lifestyle at the estate, by necessity, she said, needs to include the stories of everyone else who lived on the farm. "We need to talk about slavery more at Homewood," she said.
In recent years, many historic homes, heritage sites, and history museums have begun exploring ways to tell such "difficult history." Historian and curator Phillip Seitz worked with the Cliveden historic mansion in Germantown, Pennsylvania. In an essay for Curator: The Museum Journal titled "No More White History," he discusses the challenges of incorporating the history of slavery into a historic house's curatorial program but notes that, in doing so, the strong public response has the capacity to turn historic homes into spaces of deep reflection.
Rose, Homewood Museum's director and curator, agrees. In her 2016 book, Interpreting Difficult History at Museums and Historic Sites, she writes about the Magnolia Mound Plantation house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which introduced the stories of enslaved people into its tours and storytelling to develop strategies for making difficult history part of a curatorial practice.

3/8/2021 58168 Application PDF
She notes that there will be pushback, as the telling of oppressive history can make people uncomfortable. One common argument against incorporating the history of enslaved people, she says, is that, due to the scarcity of primary sources, the history is difficult to tell meaningfully and accurately. But, Rose explains, "resistance to interpreting slavery is not about scarcity of documentation." Rather, using the supposed scarcity of documentation to excuse engagement is a form of resistance, as are denial, sarcasm, and apathy.
Thanks to the "Enslaved at Homewood" grant and the digitization of archival materials, Schreiber was able to explore a much wider selection of material. She dug through tax records; church records; manuscripts at the Maryland State Archives, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Maryland Historical Society; and more.
"Once we got the funding for the project, I was able to uncover many more sources, and as we've been continuing to develop the tour, we've been finding even more," Schreiber says. "The Maryland State Archives has done a huge project on the digitization of the records related to slavery, so there's a lot more available online now than there was even 10 years ago."
Rose and Schreiber understand that the history of Homewood is an evolving narrative, as they and their students turn the information they encounter into the stories that are part of the exhibition and the new tour script. What the "Enslaved at Homewood" grant has enabled the museum to achieve is a step toward presenting a more inclusive interpretation at Homewood Museum and providing a richer understanding of the place where the Johns Hopkins University is located. But it's still just a first step.
Rose says that when she and Schreiber first started writing the new tour script last summer, they had a certain set of questions they assumed they wanted to answer.
"As we found new material, we started to ask different questions," Rose says. She notes that the museum's docents will be the first trained with the new tour, and she imagines that once the public engages with it, new questions will emerge from that process, too. "This [project] is really just the beginning of the story."

Dear MHAA Grant Reviewers:
The Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) supports the grant proposal to restore the Homewood Museum’s deteriorating roof, upper fascia and gutter system of the north-facing portico of the historic house museum.
Homewood’s North Portico is a significant architectural feature of the house that connects visually with Homewood’s surrounding landscape. We know that if left unaddressed, the portico would continue to suffer from structural concerns and potentially create safety hazards. Left unaddressed, it would also affect the museum’s accessibility, as it is an alternative entrance to the gift shop. By taking action now, the museum can continue its commitment to sustaining regional identity by carefully preserving this important cultural resource in Baltimore City.
The Homewood Museum is an important heritage tourism site in Maryland. Homewood plays an important role in engaging audiences with educational opportunities to examine and better understand Federal era Baltimore through the lens of architectural heritage. BAF partners with Homewood during our Doors Open Baltimore event and an architecture lecture series. We appreciate the museum’s commitment to telling the story of Baltimore’s architectural history and as a steward of this important historic site.
We urge you to look favorably upon this grant application.
Sincerely,
Nathan Dennies Associate Director Baltimore Architecture Foundation.
