Baltimore Architecture Foundation

The Baltimore Architecture Foundation is celebrating it’s 25th year in 2012 and we are shaking up the usual schedule. Instead of hosting the best Groundhog Day Party in Baltimore during the coldest, wettest time of the year we are having a 25th Anniversary Party in April.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Where: One East Lexington Street (the original home of the AIA)

Please join us as we celebrate our 25th year in a building significant for it’s architecture as well as it’s history. Originally the Central Savings Bank, it was once home to many Baltimore architects and the original home of the Baltimore Chapter of the AIA. There will be a silent auction, music and dancing, OYSTERS!, and a special 25th Anniversary award, as well as our Golden Griffin and Roger D. Redden awards.

Tickets information available soon. 

Sponsorships and auction opportunities are available please email Tracey at baf@baltimorearchitecture.org

Construction Tour of the Park Plaza, Mount Vernon

Saturday, December 17th at 10:00am

Park Plaza Building
800 N. Charles Street
Baltimore, MD 21201

Map and Directions

Join us for a in-depth look at the Park Plaza professional building in Mount Vernon. Burned in a five alarm fire last December, the former residence of Baltimore Sun founder, Arunah S. Abell has a rich architectural history. Originally constructed in 1842 and added on to many times, the building has served as residence, private club, disco, professional office and retail. You can read more on the building’s history via this article by Edward Gunts at the Baltimore Sun.

Post-fire, much of the original form has been revealed. We’ll take a look at the architectural evidence the fire revealed and get a sense of what it’s newest form will comprise. Paul Littman of Southway Builders and Tom Liebel, FAIA of Marks, Thomas Architects will lead us through the building and offer insight into the challenges of restoring this architecturally significant fire damaged building.

Dress for the elements, we are touring a construction phase project, closed toe shoes and comfortable dress suggested.
