We were in it before the 2015 renovation. At that time it had been sitting empty for several years and was owned by the bank. There was significant water damage and the upstairs bathroom had partially collapsed into the lower. The water damage also led to extensive black mold under the kitchen. Basically the bank still wanted so much for it and it needed so much work that we knew it wouldn't be a feasible project for us. We were heartbroken when those windows were pulled out and I almost wrecked my car when I saw that HIDEOUS new front. jodihooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158621867082723901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510230462053689392.post-21981149360298189012020-10-31T02:45:50.576-04:002020-10-31T02:45:50.576-04:00As a note, when we first bought the house, it had ...As a note, when we first bought the house, it had pale green Cape Cod shutters tacked to either side of some windows, totally out of scale and architecturally inappropriate. I pulled into the driveway one day, and looked at them as if I had noticed them for the first time. We removed them soon after that, had the house patched and painted bright white. Good times.

It was a beautiful yet frigid home in the winter, as the aluminum windows were awful! We got bids to replace them, but never had the heart to ruin the aesthetic. I found a silver 1947 quarter in the back yard, while digging to make a garden for my children. It was a sunny, warm and unique home -even to this day, I will meet Baltimoreans who know it. So sad to see.... If you continue to Bellona and North Charles, you will see a sister house on the soutwest corner, in the very same style.
