History

Originally home to the Baltimore City College, the building was designed by the city's premier architects in the late nineteenth century and served as one of the first public high schools in the country.

The exterior with its rich ornamentation, along with some interior brick walls, original wainscoting and tin ceilings were preserved. A complete new interior was built featuring the most uncommon contemporary elements.
