Franklin Square Historic District

Franklin Square Historic District contains 1,300 buildings spread across twenty-four city blocks following a strict grid pattern along brick-lined streets.

The district, registered as a National Historic Place in 1982, features mid-nineteenth century architecture with three-story brick rowhouses surrounding a central public park.

The neighborhood demonstrates traditional Baltimore residential design through its flat facades, detailed windows, stone churches, and characteristic roofline elements.

The district extends between Mulberry, North Carey, West Baltimore, and Monroe Streets, with the two-and-a-half-acre Franklin Square park at its center.

Three distinct rowhouse groupings - Waverly Terrace, Linden Place, and Canby Place - showcase the finest examples of nineteenth-century Baltimore residential architecture.
