Wow top quality pictures! It is evident that Baltimore has a lot to offer, just like other major NE cities, it's a classic American, I'll consider it.

I read somewhere that the row of houses on Wilkens Ave is the longest unbroken row in the world...don't remember how many but it's something like 50 or 60.

I am looking for an image, and I was hoping someone might have some ideas of where to go.

I need an image of the Baltimore skyline (from Federal Hill, though I wouldn't turn down other angles) from somewhere between 1800-1900 (before the large buildings start getting in the way of the monuments, churches. I really want to see the Basilica, Washington Monument, and such. Any ideas?

Thanks

A standing ovation for all those images!

Baltimore has the density, the urbanity, the steel and glass, the masonry work, the row-homes, the architectural variation, the neighborhood variation, ect, ect.

More splendidness!

Dickeyville, reminds me of a real American historic section which a few cities have, which represents that of earlier times in terms of layout and architecture. Looks like early Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia. Both Philadelphia and Baltimore were the 2 largest cities at one time.
