Maria Baldwin House, Greek Revival house in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The northern section of a two-family house features Ionic columns supporting the portico and two-over-two sash windows along its brick foundation.
Maria Louise Baldwin, the first female African-American principal in Massachusetts, resided in this house from 1892 to 1922 while leading Agassiz Grammar School.
The residence became a meeting place for upper-class African-American circles, including civil rights leaders William Monroe Trotter and Archibald Grimké.
Located at 196 Prospect Street near Harvard University, the building maintains its original architectural elements and stands as a National Historic Landmark.
The two-story kitchen extension at the rear exhibits lower ceiling heights than the main structure, creating a distinct vertical offset.
