Product Review
"The definitive inventory and guide to the architectural history of one of the premiere old cities of the United States Any long-established Baltimorean should treasure this volume for its celebration of tradition and innovation. Newly arrived Baltimoreans could find no finer guide to what the place looks like and how it came to be this way -- and why." -- Michael Pakenham, Baltimore Sun
"A handsome 400-pager chronicles the social, political, and economic development of Baltimore along with the architecture." -- Tom Chalkley, City Paper
"Everything you always wanted to know about the notable architecture of the city of Baltimore is contained in this single volume 'of forgotten lore,' to paraphrase the Baltimorean Edgar Allen Poe. This book has been lovingly produced by Johns Hopkins University Press." -- Choice
"Over 600 stunning black and white photos, drawings, paintings, and illustrated floor plans that capture the evolution of Baltimore." -- Kristin Shinham, Chesapeake Home Magazine
Product Review
"Baltimore contains some of the finest architecture in the United States designed by a virtual roll call of leading designers. The reissue of this classic study brought up to date with contributions by both senior and younger historians illuminates the dynamism of recent changes and the growth of historic preservation in Baltimore. Once again the riches of the city are made accessible." -- Richard Guy Wilson, FAIA, Commonwealth Professor of Architectural History, University of Virginia
