Sellers Mansion, Renaissance Revival mansion in Baltimore, Maryland, US
The three-story brick Sellers Mansion stands at Lafayette Square, featuring classical architectural elements and symmetrical design characteristics of Renaissance Revival construction methods.
Built in 1868 by Edward Davis for Matthew Bacon Sellers Sr., a former Louisiana plantation owner who became president of the Northern Central Railway.
The mansion marked the transformation of Lafayette Square into an upper-class residential area, reflecting the social and economic changes in post-Civil War Baltimore.
The property remained in significant deterioration until 2018, when a developer acquired it with plans to convert the structure into senior apartments.
The mansion served as headquarters for Operation CHAMP from 1967 to 1980, distributing playground equipment throughout Baltimore neighborhoods for temporary street play areas.
