Merchants' National Bank Building (1895), Baltimore

The Merchants' National Bank Building (1895), Baltimore was a historic bank building at 301 Water Street, at the corner of South Street, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was a 7-story, Renaissance Revival style building designed by the Baltimore-based architectural firm of Baldwin & Pennington, and constructed in 1893-1895. Johns Hopkins, a Baltimore businessman, abolitionist, and philanthropist, had been president of the bank from 1853 until his death in 1873. Architecture and ownership history When the 7 story Merchants National Bank Building was completed in 1895 the Baltimore sun called it "a splendid building" and a fine addition to the many recent handsome office buildings erected in Baltimore. Optimistically, the Sun article also mentioned that the steel frame encased in brick masonry with granite facing on the outside made the structure "fire-proof throughout". It burnt down 9 years later, a victim of the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. Almost the entire interior was destroyed, except for the banking rooms on the first floor. The bank then decided to make its headquarters a two-story building, which it remained for almost 80 years. Merchants consolidated with the Mechanics NB of Baltimore in 1912 and consolidated at the Mechanics' location. This property was then surplused and sold to Baltimore insurance company USF&G, which kept it till the 1970s. Baltimore Federal Savings & Loan bought the property in 1977, and in 1982 erected a new 17 story Postmodern style building, spanning the entire block between Water and East Lombard, South and Commerce Streets. The original two story building was preserved as a historic facade. The construction cost was approximately $20 million. The architect was Donald N. Coupard Associates (now DNC Architects), and Whiting-Turner was the general contractor. Landmark The 1895 Merchants' National Bank Building facade is a historic district contributing property, within the Baltimore Business and Government Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

Buck Lodge Middle School

Buck Lodge Middle School (BLMS) is a public middle school in Adelphi, Maryland, United States. It is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. It is zoned for the High Point High School attendance area and has a mandatory uniform policy in effect. History Buck Lodge Middle School was originally a junior high school and covers 26 acres of land, including several large areas dedicated to athletics and sport. The original school building covered 5 acres. In 1966, several rooms were added, including a library and a band room. A wing dedicated to orthopedics was completed in 1981. Buck Lodge Middle School changed from a junior high school to a middle school in 1981. From 1991 to 1992, the school was completely renovated and remodeled, with students returning to the newly-refurbished school in September 1992. On February 4, 2014, U.S. President Barack H.

The lodge was later given to Benjamin Belt, who, in 1746, sold it to Thomas Owens of Great Britain, who then lost possession of it to Count Demanu. The lodge later came under possession of the Pywell family, who kept it until the Maryland state government purchased it. In 1956, the Prince George's County Board of Education acquired the land.

Johns Hopkins Club

The Johns Hopkins Club is a private club located on the grounds of the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University at 3400 North Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland. History The creation of the Johns Hopkins Club was inspired by Herbert Baxter Adams who, after a visit to the Yale Graduates Club in New Haven wanted to provide a similar facility for Hopkins. The club was officially organized in December 1899, with 260 charter members. One of the founders of the Club was Alfred Jenkins Shriver, a member of the Johns Hopkins Class of 1891, for whom Shriver Hall is named on Hopkins' Homewood Campus. The club includes a membership of both men and women, restricted to alumni, faculty, and full-time graduate students of Johns Hopkins University. The Club now is home to over 4,000 members. Installations When the University moved to the Homewood campus, the Johns Hopkins Club moved with it, occupying the Homewood House until 1929, when it became a museum. In 1936, the university alumnus and trustee Theodore Marburg and his family provided the funds to construct the current building. It was designed by architects Wrenn, Lewis and Jencks, reinterpreting the style of Homewood House, continuing the tradition of Georgian buildings on campus. It has a dramatic spiral staircase inside. Several additions have been made since then, including offices and additional dining and kitchen space, notably in 1956, 1981 and 1987.

Hooper Strait Light

Hooper Strait Light is one of four surviving Chesapeake Bay screw-pile lighthouses in the U.S. state of Maryland. Originally located in Hooper Strait, between Hooper and Bloodsworth Islands in Dorchester County and at the entrance to Tangier Sound, it is now an exhibit at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland. History Lightships were stationed at this site beginning in 1827, including one destroyed by confederate forces during the Civil War. In 1867 a square screw-pile structure was erected. It survived only ten years; in January 1877 ice tore the house loose and sent it floating down the bay. The keeper John S. Cornwell and his assistant barely escaped using one of the light's boats, and were trapped on the ice for 24 hours before being rescued. In spite of frostbite, Cornwell said that "should there be another house erected, or a boat placed in the site of the old one, Capt. Conway [his assistant] and myself will be ready to take charge of it[.]" Lighthouse tenders sent after the sunken house located it some five miles (8 km) south of the strait and were able to salvage the lens, lamp, and fog bell. A new light was erected at the same location in 1879, another screw-pile light of the then typical hexagonal form, with the house being prefabricated at the Lazarretto Point depot. John Cornwell did in fact become the first keeper of the new light. In 1882 a red sector was fitted. This light remained staffed until 1954, at which point it was automated and the house boarded up. In the 1960s the Coast Guard had taken to removing the houses from the old screw-pile lights in order to cut maintenance costs and avoid vandalism; a skeleton tower would then be erected on the old foundation. The Hooper Strait Light was slated to be so treated in 1966, but the newly founded Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum arranged with the Historical Society of Talbot County and the federal government to have the light moved to its campus instead. The light was sliced in half at its eaves, and the two pieces of the house were barged to St. Michaels, where they were reassembled on a newly constructed foundation on Navy Point. This was the first successful preservation effort of its kind in the bay, laying a precedent for the removal and preservation of the Drum Point and Seven Foot Knoll lights. The light remains a showpiece of the museum and a landmark on the St. Michaels waterfront. References "Historic Light Station Information and Photography: Maryland" (PDF).

Northwest Hospital (Randallstown, Maryland)

Northwest Hospital, formerly known as Northwest Hospital Center and Baltimore County General Hospital before that, is a hospital in Randallstown, Maryland (a suburb of Baltimore) owned and operated by LifeBridge Health. The hospital is full-service, with an emergency department and surgical facilities. It is located at the intersection of Old Court Road and Carlson Lane, south of Liberty Road. Northwest Hospital has 254 private inpatient beds and offers care for medical, surgical, behavioral health, rehabilitative and hospice patients. Its facilities have been designed around the Friesen concept, with nursing alcoves outside each patient room so nurses can spend more time with their patients. The Friesen-design hospital functions differently from the traditional hospital in that it creates an environment conducive to direct patient care through smaller 20-bed units; elimination of nursing stations; and placing supplies, medications and charts in close proximity to patients.

Maryland State Archives

The Maryland State Archives serves as the central depository for government records of permanent value. Its holdings date from Maryland's founding in 1634, and include colonial and state executive, legislative, and judicial records; county probate, land, and court records; church records; business records; state publications and reports; and special collections of private papers, maps, photographs, and newspapers. These records are kept in a humidity and temperature controlled environment and any necessary preservation measures are conducted in the Archives' conservation laboratory. The Hall of Records, predecessor of the Maryland State Archives, was created as an independent agency in 1935, charged with the collection, custody, and preservation of the official records, documents, and publications of the state (Chapter 18, Acts of 1935). Impetus for its development can be traced to the state's tercentenary celebrations of 1934. The Maryland Tercentenary Commission made a modern, centralized archives a key feature of the commemoration of the state's 300th anniversary. A "Memorial Hall of Records" was proposed as early as 1928, and in 1931, the Maryland General Assembly appropriated funds to erect an archives building which was opened to the public in 1935. A Hall of Records Commission was also created in 1935 to serve as management for the Archives; it took on an advisory role in 1984. The Hall of Records was incorporated into the Maryland Department of General Services in 1970 (Chapter 97, Acts of 1970). In 1984, it was renamed the State Archives and became an independent agency within the office of the Governor (Chapter 286, Acts of 1984). From 1935 to 1986 the collection was housed in a building called the Hall of Records on the St. John's College campus in Annapolis with a capacity of 18,000 cubic feet. In 1986, construction was completed and the collections were moved into a new building, now called the Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse State Archives Building, with a capacity of 160,000 cubic feet.

Six Flags America

Six Flags America, est un ancien parc d'attractions situé à Largo, près de Washington, au sud de Baltimore, dans le Maryland. Il appartient au groupe Six Flags jusqu'à sa fermeture. Il contient un parc aquatique nommé Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Histoire Débuts Tout commence en 1974, quand le milliardaire H. Ross Perot et quelques associés décident de créer un parc animalier étendu sur plus de 160 hectares, à la place d'un champ de tabac et de maïs. La compagnie ABC television rachète le parc l'année suivante, en lui laissant son caractère animalier. 850.000 visiteurs sont attendus, malheureusement, malgré les safaris en jeeps proposés pour observer les lions et les ours, les objectifs ne sont pas atteints. Le groupe ABC perd de l'argent avec ce parc. Il est alors fermé pendant plusieurs années. Wild World Il rouvre en 1982 sous le nom Wild World et sous la direction de Jim Fowler, célèbre zoologiste qui anima pendant plusieurs années une émission télévisée nommée Wild Kingdom. Le parc a donc été équipé de toboggans aquatiques, d'une piscine à vagues, ... À cette époque, les attractions (non aquatiques) ne sont pas très nombreuses. On trouve cependant déjà une grande roue, des tasses et quelques autres petits manèges. Quand en 1985, Paragon Park, le parc d'attractions de Boston ferma ses portes, ses montagnes russes qui fonctionnait là-bas depuis 1917 furent rapatriées à Wild World. Elles furent renommées The Wild One et mises en service pour l'année 1986. Adventure World En 1994, Premier Parks rachète Wild World et le renomme Adventure World. Plusieurs montagnes russes sont ajoutées (Python, The Mind Eraser, Cannonball, Roar, ...) Six Flags America Très vite, le parc va devenir la propriété de Six Flags, prenant son nom actuel du fait de sa proximité avec Washington, capitale fédérale des États-Unis d'Amérique. C'est à cette époque que les personnages de Looney Tunes et que la zone consacrée à l'univers de Batman furent intégrés au parc En 2005, le parc aquatique Paradise Island subit de nombreuses améliorations et devient par la même occasion Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Le 1er mai 2025, le parc a annoncé sa fermeture définitive dès la fin de la saison.
