The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography
Hunter, Wilbur H., Jr., and Charles H. Elam. Century of Baltimore Achitecture. Baltimore: The Peale Museum, 1957.
Notes: Hunter, the long-time director of the Peale Museum, possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of Baltimore's history and was an excellent writer besides. This book, an illustrated guide to buildings designed by members of the Baltimore Chapter, AIA., is a sequel to Howland and Spencer's <em>The Architecture of Baltimore</em>, which Hunter edited.

Jacobs, David. "Running in Place: Baltimore." Interplay 1 (1967): 48-52.
Jakmauh, Edward, and Robert Wales. Waterfront Study, Fells Point, Baltimore, Maryland. Baltimore: n. p., 1975.
Notes: A planners' survey evidently prepared for the American Bicentennial, the booklet provides a well-illustrated history of one of Baltimore's most important areas and its people, threatened at the time by an expressway. The threat of the highway has since been removed; unfortunately much of Fells Point's industrial architecture, unique in the city, has disappeared as well.

Notes: Geographer Olson's book, by far the most thorough illustrated history of Baltimore, is strong on geographic and commercial development, and gives less attention to the arts, including architecture. However it does feature many historic photographs of buildings and contemporary news accounts of their construction.
