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.

Been a while. Due for a deep clean. Still holding on strong, minus the stolen panel… @ianmacleandavis #bromobox #howardstreet #baltimore #bromoartsdistrict #mayfairtheatre #historic #history #bmorehistoric #installation https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDY56lJDGP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had a few sheets of film to shoot, the last of my Velvia, so I got the 1500 block of Harford Rd/Ave, and revisited these three places on Howard Street, where my project officially started in 2010-11, after grad school. I love the empty streets on a cold holiday morning! Happy Holidays! #bmoreblockbyblock #baltimore #howardstreet #architecture #photography #4x5 #viewcamera #historic #bmorehistoric #film #light #color #composition #perspective #time #changes #early https://www.instagram.com/p/CmmKukNuE3S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The house my grandfather grew up in and lived in with my grandmother for a time. Not much left, just a facade. It looked like it was inhabited back in 2010, but who knows. If I had the capital, I’d buy it and rebuild it, but I’ve got my hands full with my little two-story row in Waverly for the time being.
