However it does feature many historic photographs of buildings and contemporary news accounts of their construction.

Rowhouse Exhibit label copy, Peale Museum.
Notes: In 1981, Baltimore's municipal museum reopened after a major renovation, with this "permanent" exhibit, one of its finest, created, among others, by assistant museum director Barry Dressel and Mary Ellen Hayward, co-author, with Charles Belfoure, of <em>The Baltimore Rowhouse</em>. The label copy is all that remains of this superb local exhibit, which was later de-mounted. The museum itself, housed in the oldest museum building in the United States, closed permanently in 1997. Its collections are now housed at the Maryland Historical Society.

Notes: The consultant's study shows through drawings and photographs what this important neighborhood, then still a working waterfront served by shipping and railroads, might look like without the threatened expressway and how it could be made to look that way. Much has happened since then to alter the picture, including the demolition and abandonment of major structures.
