Baltimore, MD Photos

While today's Baltimore has gravitated to toward its harbor, downtown contains an interesting mixture of modern & heritage architecture such as City Hall & various monuments. Further up the hill away from the harbor is Mount Vernon Place with America's first George Washington Monument (1829) which precipitated a cluster of significant mansions, churches & institutions.
