Lord Baltimore Hotel

The Lord Baltimore Hotel is located at 20 West Baltimore Street, on the northeast corner of the intersection with North Hanover Street, and one block west of the main downtown thoroughfare of North Charles Street, in the downtown area of Baltimore, Maryland. Description The hotel was designed by William Lee Stoddart and opened on December 30, 1928. The 22 story hotel, designed in the French Renaissance style, has a dark red brick veneer with limestone trim over a steel frame. The building, which is 289 feet tall, is topped with a tower featuring a mansard roof of copper, now aged with a green patina. It replaced the smaller but substantial Hotel Carswell, built shortly after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. In 1958, after the Baltimore City Council considered but failed to pass an ordinance prohibiting racial segregation in public accommodations, the Lord Baltimore Hotel voluntarily ended its restrictive guest policies. Following the redevelopment of the downtown area in the 1990s, the hotel is within walking distance of many Baltimore attractions such as the Inner Harbor, Camden Yards, and the National Aquarium. The Lord Baltimore Hotel closed in 1982, needing a major renovation. It was bought by a partnership headed by local developer Saul Perlmutter in 1983 and was renovated, reopening on December 30, 1985. The partnership filed for bankruptcy in 1987, during the savings and loan crisis, and the hotel was taken over from its defunct creditor by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 1992. The hotel was managed by Radisson Hotels through much of the 1990s as the Radission Plaza Lord Baltimore. The FDIC sold the hotel to Universal Equities, a Washington, D.C. group, in 1992 for $8.5 million. Universal sold the hotel for $30 million in January 1997 to Davidson Hotels, which switched the management from Radisson to Hilton and renamed the hotel the Hilton Baltimore & Towers on January 29, 1997. The hotel was sold again in 2001 to Carlson, the owners of the Radisson Hotels franchise, regaining its previous name as the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore. It was sold to Rubell Hotels of Miami, Florida for $10 million (US) in August 2013. It dropped the Radisson flag and reopened in 2014 as an independent hotel, after undergoing a total remodeling of guest rooms, and restoration of the building's public spaces. In 1982, the hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lord Baltimore Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Lorraine Park Cemetery

Lorraine Park Cemetery is a cemetery located in Baltimore, Maryland. It rests on about 60 acres (240,000 m2) of land. Formerly known as Lorraine Farm, the exact date of its founding is not entirely known - however, it may have been founded as early as 1872. Founded by Reverend William Prescott Webb, most of its acreage was sold to the Lorraine Cemetery Company in 1884. The first interment was a lady named Margaret Rand, in 1883 and by 1900, it had over 700 interments. The cemetery served as the preferred resting place for the area's Chinese community for many years. At one point the cemetery went bankrupt and was purchased by Charles Blackburn Sims. Upon his purchasing the cemetery, it began to take on its present appearance. Construction on the cemetery's mausoleum began in the late 1920s and ended in 1973. The cemetery contains three British war graves of World War II - a Royal Navy Seaman, a Merchant Navy Master, and a Royal Artillery Gunner. On September 12, 1976, the body of an unidentified young woman was found face first wrapped in a sheet and a seed bag and 2 bandanas with eye and mouth holes cut in them over her face. She had been raped, strangled and bound then thrown into the cemetery, or killed in a different location and then dumped there. The case was featured on America's Most Wanted, and although the murder remains unsolved, DNA evidence proved in September 2021 that she was Margaret Fetterolf, a 16-year old girl who had run away from home in the summer of 1975. Notable interments Rex Barney, baseball player William S. Booze (1862–1933), U.S. Representative Reginald Bowie (1854–1926), Maryland politician, businessman and engineer Paul Cavanagh, actor Berrie Henry Jarrett, Medal of Honor recipient Rudy Kneisch, baseball player Cornelius Lawrence Ludlow Leary (1813–1893), state delegate and U.S. Representative Charlie Maisel, baseball player Fritz Maisel, baseball player Mildred Natwick, actress Jerry Scala, baseball player References

Lovely Lane Methodist Church

Lovely Lane United Methodist Church (formerly known as First Methodist Episcopal Church and Lovely Lane Chapel) is a historic United Methodist church at 2200 St. Paul Street in the Charles Village neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The building was designed by renowned New York City architect Stanford White in the Romanesque Revival style and completed in 1884 as the "Centennial Monument of American Methodism". It is patterned after the early churches and basilicas in Ravenna, Italy. The exterior is constructed of a gray ashlar granite with limited ornamentation. It features a square bell tower patterned after the campanile of the 12th century church of Santa Maria, Abbey of Pomposa, near Ravenna. The pulpit is a reproduction of the one at St. Apollinaris, in Ravenna. Locally influential architect Charles L. Carson was supervising architect for the McKim, Mead & White firm during construction of the church. Lovely Lane Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The pipe organ in the church was built in 1930 by the Austin Organ Company as its Opus 1738. The case remains from the original organ of 1887, Hilborne L. Roosevelt’s Opus 336, which had been enlarged by Adam Stein (1844–1922) in 1914. The Austin instrument incorporates a few of the Roosevelt and Stein pipes. This organ was played in recital during the Organ Historical Society Convention in July 2024. The Sunday School Chapel houses an historic pipe organ built by Hilborne L. Roosevelt, in 1885 (Opus 239). It was restored by Richard Howell (1985) and the Reservoir was releathered by David Storey (2008). This Roosevelt pipe organ was played in recital during the Organ Historical Society Convention in July 2024. Lovely Lane Chapel The congregation is known as the "Mother Church of American Methodism." The original Lovely Lane Chapel or Meeting House was the scene of the December 1784 "Christmas Conference", at which the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States was founded and Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke were ordained as its first bishops. The plain original chapel on Lovely Lane, off German (now Redwood) Street, between South Calvert Street and South Street in the city's waterfront district, was abandoned in 1786 and demolished. It was replaced (first) by an elaborate beaux-arts structure of the Merchants Club, and now the building contains a restaurant as well as offices and teaching space used by Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.

Lower Cedar Point Light

The Lower Cedar Point Light was a historic lighthouse in the Potomac River near its eponymous point, south of the present Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, which carries U.S. Route 301 between Maryland and Virginia. It has been replaced by a skeleton tower. History Lightships were stationed at this location beginning in 1825. In 1861, during the Civil War, the lightship at the station was burned by Confederate forces. A screw-pile lighthouse was constructed on the spot in 1867. This light burned on Christmas Day in 1893 and was rebuilt in 1896. In 1951 the house was removed and a skeleton tower erected on the old foundation.

Loys Station Covered Bridge

The Loys Station Covered Bridge is a multiple king post wooden covered bridge near Thurmont, Maryland. The bridge was burned by an arsonist in 1991 and rebuilt using surviving framing. The original bridge spanned 90 feet in one span, but has since been modified with a pier at the middle of the span. The bridge crosses Owen's Creek and is surrounded by a park. History Loys Station Covered Bridge was originally built in 1848. Between 1929 and 1930 the bridge was reinforced with a concrete pier and steel beams. The bridge gets its name from a Western Maryland Railroad station that stopped nearby the bridge in Loys. In 1978 the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1991 the bridge was burned down by an arsonist who was trying to fraudulently collect insurance money. The bridge took three years and $300,000 to rebuild and was rebuilt to match the bridge as it was in 1930 after having been reinforced. Most of the cost of reconstructing the bridge was covered by insurance. On 4 July 1994 the bridge officially reopened for the public. In October 2013 the bridge was damaged twice by vehicles, but quickly repaired both times.

Ludwig Field

Ludwig Field (officially Kehoe Track at Ludwig Field) is a soccer stadium located on the campus of the University of Maryland (UMD) in College Park, Maryland. Since its opening in 1995, it has been the home of the Terrapin men's and women's soccer teams. The facility also includes a running track. History Kehoe Track at Ludwig Field was dedicated on September 16, 1995 and is home to the University of Maryland's track and field and soccer teams. Built at a cost of $2.5 million, the facility is named after former Maryland track head coach and director of athletics Jim Kehoe, and Bob and Louise Ludwig, long-time supporters of Maryland Athletics. A state-of-the-art scoreboard was added to the north end of the stadium in 2004. In 2007, a media press box was installed behind the west grandstand and an additional 1,500 seats were added to increase seating capacity from 4,500 to 6,000. In 2009, the capacity increased from 6,500 to 7,000. Maryland men's soccer has won six Atlantic Coast Conference soccer championships (1996, 2002, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013), two Big Ten Conference (B1G) championships (2014, 2016), and three NCAA national championships (2005, 2008, 2018) as tenants of Ludwig Field. Ludwig Field hosted the WCAC Boys' Lacrosse League Championship game every May from 2011 through 2023. Attendance and fan support Ludwig Field is one of the most well-attended college soccer facilities in the country. As of the 2019 season, Maryland has finished top-10 in attendance among all NCAA men's soccer programs each year since 2002. Maryland led the Big Ten Conference in attendance during its inaugural campaign, hosting three of the top-10 largest home crowds in the NCAA and finishing second in the nation in total home attendance (43,008) and fourth in the nation in average home attendance (2,688) in 2014. The support for the men's soccer team includes a passionate fan group known as "The Crew." The Crew was formed in 2003 by student Mike Mastrantuono and a group of his friends, and has since grown to nearly 2000 fans. The first appearance of The Crew was at the first home game of the 2003 season, at which Maryland defeated UCLA 1-0. Though the facility's capacity is officially listed at 7,000, Maryland routinely hosts larger crowds. On October 14, 2011, Ludwig Field hosted its then-largest crowd with 7,957 spectators for the Maryland men's soccer victory over Duke. That attendance record was broken on September 6, 2013 when 8,397 fans looked on as Maryland men's soccer, in its final Atlantic Coast Conference season, defeated Duke.
