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.

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

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. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from DePaul University and a Masters in Historic Preservation from the University of Maryland\, College Park.

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.

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]

SUMMARY:Preservation for the People: The Fight for Development Without Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Sonia Eaddy by Charles Cohen/Poppleton Photo. \nDate: September 29\, 2022\nTime: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EDT\nLocation:\nMICA Brown Center/ Falvey Hall\n1300 Mt. Royal Ave Baltimore\, MD 21217 \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nAfter an 18-year fight to save her home from condemnation by Baltimore City\, Sonia Eaddy won. The historic Sarah Ann Street alley houses will be preserved and offered for homeownership after being rehabbed by Shelley Halstead of Black Women Build. However\, the story of redevelopment in Poppleton illustrates how Baltimore City failed to see and hear the people of this historically Black neighborhood along the Highway to Nowhere. Working with residents on research\, public programming\, and organizing to amplify the stories of legacy residents fighting for development without displacement\, we were able to achieve a reset on a misguided redevelopment project underway since 2004. The City’s stance is that we cannot change the past and must move forward in good faith. As a cultural historian and preservationist\, I argue we must honor and remember the past and how we got here in order to do the hard work to repair and make amends for the damage done to Black neighborhoods and people in Baltimore. We need real change on how development works in Baltimore and cities like it. \nAbout the Speaker\nNicole King\, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of American Studies and director of the Orser Center for the Study of Place\, Community\, and Culture at UMBC. Her research focuses on issues of place\, power\, and economic development. She co-founded the Baltimore Traces: Communities in Transition public humanities project where students work with local partners to research historic neighborhoods and complete cultural documentation projects. She is an editor of the book Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City (Rutgers University Press\, 2019).

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. Tickets are donation based.

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. If you do not receive a link\, please contact mhudson@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nHope you can join us! \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]

SUMMARY:CEU Week: AIA Seminar + Happy Hour: Basics of Brickwork Detailing [Baltimore]
DESCRIPTION:AIA credited (1 LU/HSW credit) 4:00-5:00pm AIA Seminar 5:00-6:30pm Wine Tasting Happy Hour \nAppetizers and beverages will be provided. \nOur events are open to architectural\, design\, and building industry professionals only. \n  \nRegister Here\n\nBasics of Brickwork Detailing\nWater penetration is responsible for many of the problems encountered in masonry walls today. The successful performance of a masonry wall depends on limiting the amount of water penetration and controlling any water that does enter the wall system. Water penetration resistance and control in brick veneer is the focus of this presentation. The concept behind the ‘brick veneer drainage wall’ is discussed in detail\, as well as\, the proper materials to specify in order to maximize a wall’s water penetration resistance. The various elements and materials which make up a building are in a constant state of motion. All building materials expand and contract due to changes in temperature; some materials move with changes in moisture content. Each building material also changes dimensions due to stress and some materials tend to flow when subjected to sustained loads. These major causes of movement: thermal\, moisture\, deflection and creep\, along with the proper way to control these movements are the focus of this presentation. \nOther topics included in this presentation are — \n\nWorkmanship: What to expect from the mason.\n\n\nAirspaces: Why is the airspace so important and what are the minimum requirements for proper performance.\n\n\nColorless Coatings: When should they be used? Are they always effective?\n\n\nFlashing and Weepholes: Which types are most effective?\n\n\nExpansion Joints\, Control Joints\, Building Expansion Joints: Is there really a difference\, or is it just semantics.\n\n\nJoint Spacing: Is there an appropriate ‘Rule of Thumb’ – or can such a rule lead to cracking?\n\n\nCompressible Fill: Where should it be used and why.\n\n\nShelf Angle Details: What must occur at shelf angles to allow for the expected movements?\n\n\nQuestions/Comments?\nEmail: events@glengery.com
