"The Baltimore Country House: Suburban Villas in the Early Republic"
Baltimore is a relatively young city when compared to others on the East Coast. However, the merchant princes and other elites who dominated this boomtown at the turn of the nineteenth century and in later years had the same aspirations as their business partners in the older cities. The rural retreat or country villa was a social and health necessity.
Architect and architectural historian W. Peter Pearre will discuss Baltimore's early country estates, both those that survive and those known through surviving images, including Mount Clare, Homewood, and Clover Hill.
