What we are trying to do is give you a general idea of what the neighborhood looks like. We're doing this because we get a lot of email from people who are thinking of moving to Baltimore and one way or another, they hear about Butchers Hill.

For now, we have assembled some digital photos (thanks to the Mark, the "Mad Chronicler") that we took quickly one Saturday afternoon. We will try keep adding to the collection regularly. Enjoy your visit!

This is looking up Lombard Street. Most of our streets our treelined so it may be a little hard to see a lot of detail until we get back out with the camera. Most of the homes along the big east/west streets are 20-25 feet wide and usually three stories.

This is also along Lombard Street, with a little more detail.

These images are of the "Gunther Mansion" which has been converted to condominiums. Mr. Gunther owned one of Baltimore's most successful breweries. On the far right is the carriage house for the mansion which has been converted to a residence.

Our "pocket park" on Duncan Street is one the favorite neighborhood hangouts. You can often find picnics, chess games, a book club meeting going on there. It wonderful plantings are tended to by Butchers Hill neighbors. The plot was once the site of seven row homes.

At the Southwest boundry of Butchers Hill is "The Wall" - a beautiful mural which was part of the City Arts Council program. It was completed in 1994 by Mary Carfagno, a local artist. Next to it is a peek of the garden behind it, guarded by Fang the Fu Dog. The far right shot is of two lovely young residents of the neighborhood in front of the wall along with the real Jack and the painted Jack.

Finally, what sort of Baltimore neighborhood would we be without a group visiting on a front stoop?
