  • Loudon Park National Cemetery Lodge
    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY LOUDON PARK NATIONAL CEMETERY, LODGE HALS No. MD-5-A Location: 3445 Frederick Avenue, Baltimore, (Independent City), Maryland. The coordinates for the Loudon Park National Cemetery, Lodge are 76.683404 W and 39.2722228 N, and they were obtained in August 2012 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. Present Owner: National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Prior to 1988, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs was known as the Veterans Administration. The Veterans Administration took over management of Loudon Park National Cemetery from the U.S. Army in 1973 (Public Law 93-43). Date: 1885-86. Builder/Contractor: William Roussey. Description: The lodge for Loudon Park retained the three-room, L-shaped plan developed for the Second Empire style lodges, however, it assumed a Victorian-era cottage aesthetic with cross gable roofs, overhanging eaves, decorative bargeboards and brackets, paired double-hung sash glazed with two-over-two lights and operable shutters on the exterior. The millwork inside plus the built-in cabinet and corner stair contributed to the overall cottage-like characteristics of the building. The principal elevation faces west toward the entrance drive. The building is two stories in height and was constructed of brick, complete with a water table. The chimneys were built of brick as well. Granite was used for the sills. Inside, the floors are wood, and the wood doors are paneled. In the mid-1920s electricity came to the lodge, and by the decade’s end, its heating system had been modernized as well.

    War Propaganda: We Want You To… DEVELOPED BY AMIE DRYER Guiding Question: How does war propaganda influence human behavior and emotions? War Propaganda: We Want You To… 1 Overview Students will visit Charles Scalion’s grave. Using propaganda he brought home from the Korean War from the 1st Loudspeaker and Leaflet Company, students will evaluate how propaganda is used during war as part of psychological warfare. They can study how the propaganda is used to demolish the morale of an enemy. I had never heard of psychological warfare Objectives before researching my veteran, who was part of PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) At the conclusion of this activity, students will be able to: during the Korean War. • Evaluate the effects of propaganda used during war; and — Amie Dryer • Analyze moral implications of using psychological warfare against an enemy. Dryer teaches at Calvert High School in Prince Frederick, Maryland. Spotlight: Loudon Park National Cemetery Loudon Park National Cemetery, originally a military cemetery located within the private Loudon Park Cemetery, is located in southwest Baltimore, Md. It was one of the 14 original national cemeteries established under the National Cemetery Act of July 17, 1862. Most of the original interments came from Baltimore hospitals, as well as the Relay House and Elkridge Landing. The Relay House was a popular hotel for B&O passengers in the 19th century. Nearby, Fort McHenry served as a prison camp for Confederate soldiers and Southern sympathizers during the Civil War. Although death rates at Fort McHenry were lower than at other Union prison facilities, a number of Confederate soldiers died while imprisoned there and they were buried at Loudon Park National Cemetery.
