SUMMARY:Baltimore's Road Wars
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 28 · 1 – 1:30pm EDT\nOnline\nFREE \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin Baltimore Architecture Foundation and Baltimore Heritage for a special virtual history presentation… \nOn April 28\, join historian and author Ev Paull as he discusses his book\, Stop the Road\, an up-close-and-personal account of Baltimore’s epic 40-year battle over expressway plans. Meet the unsung heroes\, a ragtag band of neighborhood activists\, preservationists\, and environmentalists who saved Baltimore from its own leadership\, thereby protecting Baltimore’s historic waterfront communities of Federal Hill\, Fell’s Point\, and Canton. But that glorious and unlikely win must be tempered with the equally compelling but inglorious story behind the disastrous Highway to Nowhere. This is Baltimore unmasked and laid threadbare for the most momentous decisions since the building of the B&O Railroad. \nMeet the Speaker \nNorthwest Baltimore resident E. Evans Paull spent 45 years as a city planner working in Baltimore and nationally on urban redevelopment issues. He began his career in the Baltimore City Department of Planning as a generalist planner before specializing in the redevelopment of brownfields. After starting and managing Baltimore’s Brownfields Initiative\, he tackled these same issues at a national level\, working first for Northeast-Midwest Institute before becoming director of the National Brownfields Coalition and finally running his consulting business\, Redevelopment Economics. Although now retired\, many of his published articles and papers still appear on the Redevelopment Economics website.

SUMMARY:Windy Gates Estate (now Devon Hill) and its Olmsted Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Join BAF and Baltimore Heritage for a special Virtual History presentation! \nImage: Windy Gates country home from front in 1905 and from west terraced garden circa 1914 \n(Image on the left courtesy of the US Department of the Interior\, National Park Service\, Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site and on the right courtesy Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens\, Thomas Warren Sears photograph collection) \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION: \nThe Windy Gates country estate of the Jenkins family from 1882 to 1981 was the centerpiece of a much larger property that in its heyday\, lolled down the rolling hills stretching along Lake Avenue from Roland Avenue to Falls Road. On the heels of their work on the Roland Park neighborhood to the south\, the Olmsted Brothers were employed from 1902 through 1906\, to do extensive landscaping design for the property\, producing a detailed plan for the estate and specifications for approximately 150 different planting beds. \nWhen the heirs wished to sell the unique 20-acre property forty years ago\, they offered a unique contest awarded to the developer presenting the most inspired and pleasing plan. Based on designs prepared by Peterson and Brickbauer Architects\, the Azola Company was selected to redevelop the site into the Devon Hill Residential Community. They saved much of the historic landscaping\, converted the historic Queen Anne-style country house and its carriage house and barns into condominium units and residential homes\, and added additional residential buildings in keeping with the scale and historic character of the site. \nThis presentation by Thom Rinker will draw on the extensive material\, vintage drawings\, and photographs found in the records of the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site\, the Library of Congress\, the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens\, the Jenkins family archives\, and the surveying firm of S.J. Martenet & Company. He will share unique insights into this Baltimore County treasure that still retains a quiet serenity and gentility over the landscape. \nThis special program is hosted in partnership with the Maryland Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects in celebration of their 50th anniversary and the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) as part of their Olmsted 200 programming\, a nationwide celebration of the firm’s work and influence\, on the Bicentennial Anniversary of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth. There will be an in-person tour of the site on Sunday\, October 2\, 2022 as part of Architecture Month with Doors Open Baltimore – see separate registration at: https://www.doorsopenbaltimore.org. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER: \nThom Rinker and his wife lived in Devon Hill for over 15 years and is the author of a recently released three-volume book set entitled Devon Hill: The Pleasure of Living in an Historic Landscape. The books present a detailed narrative of the evolution of the landscape and architectural history of the property as it has evolved over its 175 years. Volume I covers the 100-year period the Jenkins family and its decients owned Windy Gates\, Volume II covers the subsequent period after 1983 when the Devon Hill community has maintained and enhanced the property\, and Volume III contains a review of the correspondence\, field notes\, and landscape plans in the Olmsted Brothers’ project files. \nABOUT THIS SERIES: \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc. have been hosting this Friday Virtual Histories Series of live lunchtime presentations and virtual tours since the start of the pandemic as a way to share an understanding of architecture\, preservation\, and history of the Baltimore region with the public. Tickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support these organizations to help make up for lost tour and program revenue from the pandemic and create more virtual programs like this. \nUpon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Idlewylde\, a Balt. Co. Community on the City Line: History & Architecture
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nIdlewylde\, a community of more than 700 homes situated on the Chinquapin Run and Herring Run-B watershed\, is the oldest of the suburban neighborhoods of South Towson. The community has a mix of housing styles characteristic of the development of suburban neighborhoods during the time of its growth\, ranging from 1920s bungalows and small Cape Cods to brick Colonials and Mid-Century Modern designs. Its development differed greatly from that of its younger neighbors\, Anneslie and Stoneleigh\, chiefly owing to the development of The Alameda as an arterial road terminating in Idlewylde and to the northward extension of Baltimore City in 1918 to Idlewylde’s southern border. \nThe Idlewylde neighborhood partially occupies land that was once Beulah\, the estate of Joshua Regester (1816-1906)\, a Baltimore brassfounder whose bells graced Baltimore City Hall and other buildings of note. Beulah once extended north to Stevenson’s Woods (now the Country Club of Maryland golf course)\, south almost to today’s City-County line\, west to the Birckhead estate (“Anneslie”) and the Brown estate (“Stoneleigh”) and east to the Herring Run tributary. The family’s farmstead and summer home\, built in 1853\, is the oldest building standing in south Towson. It and the Idlewylde United Methodist Church from 1917\, the oldest house of worship in the area\, are listed on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties. \nThis special program is hosted in partnership with the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes as part of their Olmsted 200 programming\, a nationwide celebration of the firm’s work and influence\, on the Bicentennial Anniversary of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth. In 1928 the developer contacted the Olmsted Brothers\, the renowned landscape architects responsible for designing the City neighborhoods of Roland Park and Homeland\, to commission a street layout for the undeveloped northern section contoured by the ravines of Herring Run\, but the project was nipped in the bud by the stock market crash and ensuing Great Depression. However\, Idlewylde turns out to have an unexpected connection to Frederick Law Olmsted. \nCome learn of this as well as celebrate the heritage of this unique community as shared by two Idlewylde community members who will be available to answer participants’ questions after the presentation. \nABOUT THE PRESENTERS: \nPaul Romney is a longtime resident of the Idlewylde Community and serves as the newsletter editor and secretary of the Community Association. He is a professional historian specializing in the history of Canada. \nBryan Fisher\, AIA\, NCARB\, is a registered architect and a historic preservation specialist. He has contributed significantly to numerous important architectural projects including work for the U.S. Capitol\, the National Archives\, the Smithsonian Institution\, dozens of National Park Service sites throughout the U.S.\, the GSA\, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, NAVFAC\, Washington College\, and the Maryland Historical Society. In his spare time he enjoys sailing\, exploring Idlewylde\, and working on his Mid-Century Modern home. \nABOUT THIS SERIES: \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc. have been hosting this Friday Virtual Histories Series of live lunchtime presentations and virtual tours since the start of the pandemic as a way to share an understanding of architecture\, preservation\, and history of the Baltimore region with the public.

SUMMARY:The Life and Work of Poldi Hirsch\, AIA (1926-1987)
DESCRIPTION:Join BAF and Baltimore Heritage for a special Virtual History presentation! \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nImage Credit: Baltimore Sun \n  \nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact mstella@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history.

Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nAbout Our Presentation \nThis presentation will examine the life and work of Harford County architect Poldi Hirsch\, AIA\, looking at her career as a female architect in Maryland during the 1960s\, her design philosophy and influences\, and her principal works. Born in Germany in 1926\, Poldi Hirsch was one of several European-born or trained architects who practiced in Maryland during the postwar period. Educated in Israel and Switzerland\, Hirsch immigrated to the U.S. with her husband and children in 1953\, eventually settling in Havre de Grace\, where she established an architectural practice. Hirsch focused on residential design\, including multi-family apartment buildings and single-family dwellings\, and her work in Havre de Grace reflects West Coast and European approaches to modernism tempered with an awareness of the social dimension of residential design. The biography of Poldi Hirsch\, who struggled to establish her career in Havre de Grace despite her talent and European architectural training\, is a testament to the perseverance of women architects\, and illustrates the progress made by women for greater gender equality during the twentieth century. \nThe presentation will focus particularly on the Hirsch Family Residence in Havre de Grace\, which was designed by Poldi Hirsch and constructed in 1969-1970. The Hirsch Residence is one of the significant modernist residences designed by Poldi Hirsch in Havre de Grace during the 1960s that embodies the core tenets of the Modern Movement. Hirsch\, and her physician husband\, Gunther Hirsch\, sought to provide a healthier living environment for families through a merger of public health and design\, and her residential designs feature ample natural daylighting\, spatial organization attuned to the needs of working families\, and a merger of the indoor and outdoor experience. The Hirsch Residence displays all of these characteristics\, and its sleek modernist lines\, exterior of California Redwood and locally quarried stone\, and non-traditional fenestration stand apart from other houses in Havre de Grace constructed during the same period. This presentation will highlight the research and documentation undertaken by EHT Traceries during the preparation of a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Hirsch Residence. The documentation\, prepared through the Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant program awarded to BAF by the Maryland Historical Trust\, builds upon the Multiple Property Documentation Form Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970\, presented in Session 1. \n  \nAbout the presenter \nJohn Gentry is Senior Architectural Historian at EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, a historic preservation consulting firm based in Washington\, D.C. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from DePaul University and a Masters in Historic Preservation from the University of Maryland\, College Park. As an architectural historian and cultural resource management professional\, John is experienced in researching\, documenting\, and assessing historic buildings and landscapes. He has successfully listed individual properties and districts in the National Register of Historic Places and local landmark registries in Maryland\, the District of Columbia\, Virginia\, and several other U.S. states. In addition\, he has completed numerous compliance-driven survey and documentation projects for government agencies\, architects\, and developers. John is a member of the Latrobe Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and the D.C. Preservation League. \n[REGISTER HERE]

SUMMARY:Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970

Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nAbout Our Presentation \n  \nThis presentation will highlight the research and documentation undertaken by EHT Traceries during the preparation of the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970. Educational and professional opportunities for women architects were limited throughout much of the twentieth century\, yet pioneering women contributed significantly to the built environment of Maryland. The struggle of women designers to obtain higher education and parity with men forms part of the broader social history of women’s efforts to achieve greater equality within American society. The Multiple Property Documentation Form\, prepared through the Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant program awarded to BAF by the Maryland Historical Trust\, examines the careers of women designers including architects\, landscape architects\, and artists in Maryland who were active between 1920-1970 and situates their stories within this broader national context. The achievements of pioneers such as Gertrude Sawyer\, Chloethiel Woodard Smith\, and Helen Ross Staley helped pave the way for a twenty-first-century architectural profession where women architects are appreciated and celebrated for their contributions. \nThe presentation will examine the early history of women’s involvement in the architectural field\, the educational opportunities available\, and the challenges they faced in establishing their careers. It will also explore the work of women designers active in Maryland during the 1920-1970 period\, representing a wide spectrum of building types\, landscapes\, and public art. In order to place these resources in context\, the presentation will consider the aesthetic\, cultural\, and economic themes that shaped architecture and development in Maryland during the twentieth century\, providing both opportunities and obstacles to women design professionals. \nAbout the presenter \nJohn Gentry is Senior Architectural Historian at EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, a historic preservation consulting firm based in Washington\, D.C.

SUMMARY:Western Electric Company's Point Breeze Plant & the Olmsted Vision
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual History presentation exploring the history of Western Electric Company’s Point Breeze Plant & the Olmsted Vision \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nAerial perspective of Western Electric Company’s Point Breeze Plant\, circa 1929 \n(Courtesy of the US Department of the Interior\, National Park Service\, Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) \n  \nABOUT THIS SERIES: \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host this Virtual Histories Series of 30 minute live presentations and virtual tours\, focusing on architecture\, preservation and history of the Baltimore region twice a month on Fridays at 1:00 pm EST. Tickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support these organizations to help make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nThis special program is hosted in partnership with the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) as part of their Olmsted 200 programming\, a nationwide celebration of the firm’s work and influence\, on the Bicentennial Anniversary of Frederick Law Olmsted’s birth. \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION: \nThe Western Electric Company was founded in 1869 and served for more than 100 years as the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System. Its business and manufacturing activity skyrocketed from increased telephone use at the beginning of the 1900s. The company selected Baltimore as the site of a new cable and wire manufacturing plant due to its proximity to water and rail transportation. The company purchased land along the Patapsco River Neck from the Canton Company and the River View Amusement Park\, with grand plans to develop the site into a large manufacturing campus. \nTo complete a comprehensive plan for the new site at Point Breeze\, the company hired the Olmsted Brothers firm. Between 1928 and 1931\, the Olmsted Brothers prepared at least 263 drawings\, including a comprehensive master plan and detailed landscape plans. Western Electric razed the amusement park to construct the Point Breeze plant\, which was dubbed “The Playground That Went to Work.” The plant began operations in 1930 at the heart of the Depression. Likened to an “industrial city”\, the plant included large-scale industrial buildings\, a power plant\, and a network of utility infrastructure and railroad tracks\, along with enhancements for employees\, such as a restaurant cafe\, recreational facilities\, landscaped gardens\, tree-lined boulevards\, and underground pedestrian tunnels. \nThe majority of the buildings were built in the Art Deco architectural style\, and later buildings repeated some of those elements\, providing visual and physical continuity throughout the complex. The collection of buildings\, constructed between 1929 and 1970\, is largely intact despite the Western Electric Company ceasing operations at the site in 1984. The peninsula now contains the Point Breeze Business Park and the Seagirt Marine Terminal. \nThree experts will share their knowledge of this unique collection of buildings and site that was the industrial community to 6\,000 workers in its heyday. \nABOUT THE PRESENTERS: \nTom Liebel\, FAIA\, LEED Fellow is a Vice-President with Moseley Architects\, and has been involved in integrating sustainable design principles into a variety of ground-breaking\, award-winning adaptive use and historic preservation projects over the past twenty five years.

It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum\, including 230 Black Civil War veterans and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. \nIn 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts\, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center\, and home to several businesses. However\, many current patrons and nearby residents have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join Dr. Isaac Shearn of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory. \nAbout Our Presenter \nIsaac Shearn earned his PhD in 2014 at the University of Florida and is an adjunct professor at the Community College of Baltimore County\, University of Baltimore\, and Coppin State University. His research is on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Caribbean and South America\, with a focus on public archaeology\, developing inclusive and participatory methods. His recent efforts have been oriented toward integrating three-dimensional photogrammetric mapping techniques with more traditional archaeological methods. \nREGISTER HERE

Fueled by a robust manufacturing sector\, the city became fertile ground for a wide-ranging architecture that mixed freely with the prevailing design trends of the day (albeit leaning toward the traditional); an important representative of America’s major industrial cities in the interwar years. Lesser-known examples of Baltimore Deco will be shared\, and the talk will also highlight a few optimistic building projects undertaken in the midst of the Great Depression. \nAbout the Presenter: \nMelissa Blair is a history professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and studies the history of architecture\, landscapes\, and material culture. She is co-author with Richard Striner of Washington and Baltimore Art Deco: A Design History of Neighboring Cities (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2014). Prior to joining the Department of History\, she worked for more than 15 years as an architectural historian and historic preservationist for a variety of public\, private\, and nonprofit organizations. \nREGISTER HERE

Join us for a talk by Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist\, Dr. Susan Langley\, to discover the submerged and hidden vessels off of Hawkins Point! Although known mostly as the home of the U.S. Coast Guard since 1897\, the bustling waterfront industries of Curtis Bay and Creek have long included shipyards and other maritime businesses. So it’s not unusual that these waters contain a disproportionate number of scrapped and abandoned vessels. What is surprising is the nature and histories of many of these watercraft\, which include mid-19th century schooners to the last passenger steamers operating as recently as 1963. \nAbout the Presenter: \nDr. Susan Langley lectures internationally on a broad range of subjects including maritime archaeology\, textile technology\, piracy\, and the archaeology and present practices of bees and beekeeping globally. Although her “day-job” is Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist directing the Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program for more than 25 of its 30 years\, she is also the beekeeper for the hive at Government House in Annapolis. Dr. Langley is an adjunct professor at several colleges and universities\, where she teaches underwater archaeology and the history and anthropology of piracy. She also taught maritime archaeology in Thailand for several years through UNESCO. She is a Master SCUBA diver instructor\, judges Maryland’s History Day competition\, and lectures and leads expeditions for Zegrahm Expeditions. \nREGISTER HERE

Architects\, planners\, and designers must examine the impacts—both positive and negative—of public improvements on all members of a community and be intentional about how their efforts can create better experiences for all\, today and tomorrow. \nWith a commitment to crafting equitable and collaboratively-designed projects\, Mahan Rykiel Associates approached the redesign of Rash Field Park with intention and sensitivity. By first examining the context and histories around Baltimore’s Rash Field Park and the surrounding Inner Harbor\, then deploying a many-layered engagement strategy that prioritized outreach to underserved and underrepresented communities\, Mahan Rykiel Associates was able to set the stage for shaping Rash Field as a public space for all people—a park that could be enjoyed by visitors\, but\, first and foremost\, a park that would be cherished\, celebrated\, and enjoyed by the neighbors and residents of Baltimore City. \nSince its conceptualization in the Inner Harbor 2.0 masterplan\, Rash Field has been through multiple design iterations—each pushing the boundaries\, vision\, and ambitions for how Rash Field could be transformed into an amenity-packed\, engaging\, and activated space. Within its 3 acres\, the revitalized Rash Field features an Adventure Playground\, Nature Playground\, Skateboard Park\, Shade Lawn\, a Pavilion (designed by Gensler)\, and an ‘Instagramable’ overlook facing Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. \nREGISTER HERE

Yet she led a remarkable life and was the first African American woman elected to the Baltimore City Council in 1967.

She was a self-assured woman aware of the distortion that surrounded her race\, gender and class in Baltimore. Join Morgan State’s University Archivist Dr. Ida E. Jones to see how Victorine Adams’ “compassionate conviction” compelled her to organize\, raise her voice and run for public office in service to the masses of underserved people in her hometown of Baltimore. \nIda E. Jones is an American historian and author who is the University Archivist at Morgan State University\, the first archivist in the university’s history. Her work has focused on DC and Baltimore-area African American history\, letting the voices and lived experiences of people tell their stories.

We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans. \nThe Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern\, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time. \nPeitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy\, and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone\, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel\, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work. \nThis program will be presented by We’ll be joined by Mark Schroeder\, Director of Facilities at the Church of the Redeemer. \nRegister Here
