Central | Served the third oldest public high school in America - founded 1839, which occupied several structures through its history. Here constructed 1893-1895 in Richardson Romanesque Revival style, facing north towards West Centre Street, designed by local prominent architectural firm of Baldwin & Pennington, (Ephraim Francis Baldwin, [1846-1916], and Josias Pennington, [1854-1929]), to replace earlier English Tudor Revival style building (which faced east towards North Howard Street) by George A. Frederick, [1842-1924], (also designer at same time of massive Baltimore City Hall, 1867-1875, his "flagship project") in 1874-1875 on same site, which was later undermined and collapsed from construction by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Howard Street Tunnel in 1891-1892. Occupied by B.C.C. until 1928, when the school moved to its present hill-top campus with stone Collegiate Gothic Revival "Castle on the Hill" at 33rd Street and The Alameda in northeast Baltimore. Its 1895 home was located next to the first downtown campus of The Johns Hopkins University along North Howard Street, between West Centre, Little Ross and West Monument Streets, from 1876 to c. 1914, until moving to Homewood. City College served as an unofficial "prep school" for J.H.U. during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. | |
