Old West Baltimore Historic District
Old West Baltimore Historic District, Historic district in Baltimore, United States.
The district spans 175 city blocks northwest of downtown Baltimore, featuring row houses, grand mansions, churches, schools, and commercial buildings across 675 acres.
African American families settled in the area during the 1890s, establishing homes and institutions that formed Baltimore's first prominent Black neighborhood.
The Pennsylvania Avenue served as a central point for twelve African American churches, which supported the foundation of Morgan State University and Baltimore NAACP.
The district boundaries extend from North Avenue to Dolphin Street and from Franklin Street to Fulton Avenue, with multiple public transportation connections.
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall attended the Henry Highland Garnet School on Division Street during his youth in this neighborhood.
