Description
Located in Baltimore, Maryland and part of Johns Hopkins University collections. It took us 19 years to get here, and it is an unusual mansion to tour! Slight painterly effects added to the photo.
"The mansion was built in the mid-19th century and bought in 1878 by the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, John W. Garrett. Railroads were then a key industry in the United States and, as Baltimore's Garrett family owned and managed one of the biggest rail companies, the home grew and became both luxurious and famous. John Garrett's son T. Harrison added a wing containing a billiard room, bowling alley, and a gymnasium, which in later years were converted into an art gallery and private theater Evergreen served as a home for the family until 1952, when it was donated to the university.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983"
