Another Ancient Landmark Gone.-The
old spring house on the eastern portion of
Homewood, which has been RACED recently,
was one of the landmarks of the northern Sec
ton of Baltimore. There is probably no old
place in North Baltimore more familiar to the
residents of that section than this structure,
which it is said was erected by Charles Carroll
of Carrollton, about century ago.
Homewood was included in the Carroll es-
tate at one time. This old building stood in
the bed of St. Paul street, and before the work
of extending this street through Homework
from Thirty first to Merryman's lane began
the little structure could be plainly seen for
several squares on st. Paul street, south of
Thirty-first. When the work of cutting st.
Paul street through began the old structure
was kept intact and was used as tool-house
by the contractors. The work of demolishing
it began a few weeks ago.
The spring house was a brick and stone
structure one story high, and the exterior walls
as we'll as the interior were covered with white
cement. On the front, which faced west, was
q porch, the roof of which was supported by
two columns. The building was extraordnari
ly strong for such small structure, the foun-
dation walls being between IL and 20 inches
thick.
