5-19 West 29th Street, 2022.

I photographed this row about a year ago and it was demolished shortly after this. It’s now a vacant lot or “green space” as described by the owners, Johns Hopkins University. This is a classic case of demolition by neglect. JHU sat on these for over a decade and let them fall apart. Their reason for demolition was that they could not be repaired, which is nonsense. They are currently building at least three new buildings a few blocks away, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to fix up these historic rowhouses on their campus that could’ve been used for housing or offices. Such a waste, but typical of big institutions that own property all over the city and state. Shame on you, JHU!

On a personal note, my great-grand uncle bought and lived in #17 back in 1912. Glad I was at least able to document another piece of my family history in Baltimore.

 A look at the changes through the year. I’d like to re-photograph both sides of this block at some point, as most of it has been rehabbed.
