SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Highway to Nowhere: A Forum on Reconnecting Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Highway to Nowhere is a lasting remnant of past efforts to connect Interstate 70 with Interstates 83 and 95 around Baltimore’s Central Business District. Largely uncompleted\, only a 1.4-mile stretch of Route 40 was constructed\, resulted in the demolition of homes and businesses and the displacement of approximately 1\,500 residents of West Baltimore. Roughly 50 years later\, the Highway to Nowhere remains as both a physical and scar in the community dividing large swaths of West Baltimore that were once connected. \nWith this event\, AIA Baltimore’s Urban Design Committee wants to provide stakeholders a platform and to honor to see and present ideas that have already been developed over the years. Featuring fast-paced Pecha Kucha style presentations\, the speakers will discuss past and ongoing grassroots organizing efforts\, development opportunities\, academic work focused on the Highway to Nowhere\, planning studies\, and Baltimore City’s current efforts to obtain federal funding through the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program. Presentations will be followed by a question and answer session and then time for informal discussions. Drinks and light snacks will be provided. \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]

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
DESCRIPTION:Join BAF and Baltimore Heritage for a special Virtual History presentation! \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nImage Credit from Cambridge Yacht Club: 1939\, Cambridge Yacht Club \n  \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

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:Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Informational Exhibit Currently on Display\nOne Charles Center\, 100 N. Charles Street\, Baltimore\, MD\, 21201\nCourtesy of The American Institute of Architects and Baltimore Heritage\nBackground Information\nLaurel Cemetery (1852-1958) existed for over 100 years as a nonsectarian cemetery for Baltimore’s African American community. However\, the cemetery was demolished amid controversy in 1958 to make room for the development of a shopping center. This was done despite the objection of Baltimore’s African American community\, who were led to believe that the human remains from the cemetery has all been exhumed and moved along with the headstones to a new site in Carroll County. Today\, the Belair-Edison Crossing shopping center occupies the footprint of the old cemetery. \nHistory of the Laurel Cemetery Project\nIn spring 2014\, University of Baltimore and Coppin State University professors initiated the Laurel Cemetery Project as an inter-institutional project for students interested in cultural resource management\, history\, archaeology\, and environmental sustainability. Through archaeological excavation\, faculty and student researchers found conclusive evidence that burials still existed at the original site. Current efforts focus on public education\, research into the lives of those buried at the site\, and plans for the erection of a memorial to recognize the burial ground. \n \nAuthors & Researchers\nIsaac Shearn\, Ph.D.\nCoppin State University\nisaacshearn@gmail.com \nElgin Klugh\, Ph.D.\nCoppin State University\neklugh@coppin.edu \nRon Castanzo\, Ph.D.\nUniversity of Baltimore\nreastanzo@aiabalt.com \nBaltimore Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (B.A.A.H.G.S.) \n

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. He wrote the book Industrial Baltimore by Arcadia Publishing in 2006 and continues to explore the relationship between sustainability\, preservation and urban design\, with a particular emphasis in the use of urban adaptive use projects to promote neighborhood revitalization and civic engagement. Tom served for a decade as chair of Baltimore City’s Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation\, and currently serves on the Maryland Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. \nAlison J. Ross\, M.S. is an architectural historian with extensive documentation and fieldwork experience compiling reports geared towards educating both primary stakeholders and communities at large. She prepared the Maryland Historical Trust Determination of Eligibility form for the Western Electric Company\, Point Breeze Plant Historic District while at Navarro & Wright Consulting Engineers\, Inc. She has a Master of Science degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science degree from Drexel University and is currently with Skelly and Loy\, Inc.\, a Terracon Company. \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, serves on the Board of Directors of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes as well as on their Archives Committee\, and has been instrumental in developing investigative research opportunities into the 136 Olmsted projects in Maryland. She also serves on the Executive Board of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation and co-chairs its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society. She received the Foundation’s Roger Redden Award and Preservation Maryland’s George T. Harrison Volunteer Award in recognition of her extensive architectural research and public programming. \n  \nUpon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Learning Series: Exploring the Many Advantages of Big Brick (Glen Gery)
DESCRIPTION:Clay brick provides you with many advantages. Hundreds of different colors\, shapes and textures are just a few examples. We can also manufacture brick in many different sizes. Employing larger brick on your project can reduce the installed cost of masonry drastically and enhance its sustainability\, energy efficiency\, as well as reduce maintenance cost. \nTopics to be covered include: \nManufacturing \nWe will look at the way in which brick are made and how this affects their use with special emphasis given to larger units. At this point we will also talk about manufacturer’s efforts to be environmentally friendly. \nCost and Estimation \nWe will explore a typical wall and compare the final costs of modular brick to the larger sizes. \nMason’s Production \nThe main advantage gained from using larger masonry units is an increased in the wall area laid each day. We will compare production with a large unit versus a standard modular unit. \nCoursing and Patterns \nLarger brick may have different coursing requirements. We will look at these and give you all the tools you will need to make your building something to be proud of. \nREGISTER HERE

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

SUMMARY:Baltimore Deco: Architectural Optimism in the Interwar Years
DESCRIPTION:This 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 ndennies@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. Hosted every Friday at 1:00 pm EST. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support BAF and Baltimore Heritage. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nAbout this Presentation: \nThis talk will consider how an international design movement\, Art Deco\, found its way into Baltimore during the 1920s and ’30s. 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
