The nine houses on the east side of the 1200 block of John Street, known today for their pastel paint and vibrant community spirit, do not look like an earnest Victorian reform project, but that is what they were when they were designed and built in 1880.<br />
<br />
The developer, Lawrence Turnbull (1843-1919) was a lawyer, publisher, and Presbyterian minister. A graduate of Princeton, he clerked for Severn Teackle Wallis, the dean of the Baltimore bar, then launched a monthly magazine called The New Eclectic to bring the latest English writing to readers in the war-devastated south. He brought poet Sidney Lanier to Baltimore and endowed a lecture series at the Peabody Institute. He lived at 1530 Park Avenue, the northernmost house in Beethoven Terrace, for which he is believed to have suggested the name. Grace Turnbull, the sculptor, and Bayard Turnbull, the architect and friend of Scott Fitzgerald, were two of his six children.<br />
<br />
Like most cultivated people at most times in history, Turnbull disliked the conventional housebuilding of his time. Instead of flat-fronted brick houses, such as we see today in the Bolton Hill streets around this project, he dreamt of urban cottages that would evoke the English Middle Ages. And put his money where his mouth was. In 1880, finding kindred spirits in the young architects J. Appleton Wilson and William T. Wilson, who were then building very up-to-date London-like houses for the McKim family in the 1000 block of Calvert Street, he hired them to design a group of nine model houses that would show the people of Baltimore how they could build artistically on a modest budget. The result was a group of picturesque houses that could have been built in the same year, or in any year up to about 1939, in any middle-class suburb of London. <br />
<br />
For better or worse, Turnbull’s reform did not catch on, and Baltimoreans kept building flat-fronted row houses, leaving this group as a charming accent in the flat-fronted brick neighborhood of Bolton Hill.<br />
<br />
According to J. Appleton Wilson photograph of the completed row (Photo 3.46 in the Wilson Collection,) the brick was originally unpainted.<br />

This house was built in 1879 for Catherine L. McKim, widow of John S. McKim, Sr. It is probably best thought of as the model house for the development called Belvidere Terrace, which encompasses the two sides of the 1000 block of Calvert Street and is generally thought to be the best Victorian block in Baltimore and the best urban example of the Queen Anne style in the United States. The house was designed by Wilson & Wilson and built by H.C. Smyser. <br />
<br />
The house was not designed to be part of a row. Initially, the land now occupied by 1031 and 1033 was left open, and the house was oriented to receive south light. <br />
<br />
The McKims had lived at Belvidere, John Eager Howard’s 1788 country house, which stood in the roadbed of Calvert Street in this block. When the City required the demolition of the house, probably in 1876, Mrs. McKim developed the east side of the block, using Wilson & Wilson as their architects . The project began with 1035 and 1037, built in 1879, and continued in 1880 with the fourteen-house row stretching from 1003 to 1029. For reasons unknown, the houses at 1001 and 1039 were not part of this project and were designed by other architects.<br />
<br />
In the next year, the McKims developed the west side of the block in the same style but with a different team, Wyatt & Sperry architects and Blake Brothers builders.<br />

This house was built for George C. Wilkins, General Manager of the Northern Central Railroad, which owned the land on which this and a number of adjacent houses would be built in the late 1870s and the 1880s. The land became available for development in 1873 when the Northern Central gained access to the Jones Falls Valley through the new Union Station. It is probably accurate to view this house as the beginning of the Northern Central's development project. It forms a pair with Wilson & Wilson's house of roughly the same date for William T. Wilson, one of the firm's partners, across Biddle Street at 1129 St. Paul Street. It is possible that these two houses were the first Baltimore corner houses to put their entrances on the long side and to treat the long side architecturally. <br />
<br />
George C. Wilkins was born in England and came to Baltimore after the Pennsylvania Railroad bought the Northern Central in 1873. Under Wilkins's guidance, the Northern Central became the first Baltimore railroad to offer cheap commuter fares, long a Pennsylvania RR staple in Philadelphia. By the end of the 1880s, a chain of "railroad suburbs" -- Melvale, Mount Washington, Brightside, Ruxton, and Riderwood -- would follow the Northern Central routes out the Jones Falls, splitting at Lake Roland into a line that served the Greenspring Valley, terminating at Chattalonee, and a line that served My Lady's Manor, terminating commuter service at Parkton. If you have ever wondered why Baltimore's best suburbs lie north of the city, the Northern Central and G.C. Wilkins are probably the reason.<br />

Founded as a railroad suburb of Baltimore in 1856, Mt. Washington was slow to get traction but finally began to grow as a summer suburb in the 1880s, after the Pennsylvania Railroad had acquired the Northern Central and Wilson's client George Wilkins had introduced cheap commuter tickets.<br />
<br />
The Mount Washington Club was the center of community life, both during Mount Washington's period as a summer colony and, after 1900, when it began to become a year-round neighborhood. The club's lacrosse team, the Wolfpack, was often the best team in the country, and Mount Washington came to be known as "the cradle of lacrosse."<br />

==About the Firm==<br />
Significant builders and builder/developers in the half-century after the Civil War, the Blakes were born in Ireland and came to America during the Potato Famine of the 1840s. They seem to have begun their work in East Baltimore, where they were building in Jackson Square by 1873. They were active in Mount Vernon by the late 1870s, building houses in Charles, St. Paul, and Calvert Streets. They built the Winans house at [[1217 St. Paul Street]] to designs by [[McKim, Mead, & White]], as well as a row of marble-fronted houses in the 1200 block of St. Paul Street and the west side of the 1200 block of Charles Street, all designed by [[Charles L. Carson]]. They also built the west side of Belvidere Terrace, designed by Wyatt & Sperry, and the two blocks of Eutaw Place between Mosher and Wilson Streets, destroyed by Urban Renewal. <br />
<br />
Henry died childless in 1883. The other two brothers had long and prosperous lives and died at good addresses. Charles lived until 1912, leaving descendants named Duff. George, described by the Baltimore Sun as the man who realized that Baltimore could support a great fashionable district like Belgravia in London, lived until 1923. One of his daughters gave the money for Loyola High School, known as Blakefield.<br />

When the Northern Central Railroad merged with the Pennsylvania and got direct access to East Baltimore through Union Station (now Penn Station) and the Jones Falls Valley, the Northern Central abandoned a large full-service rail yard that took up most of the space between today's Mount Vernon and today's Bolton Hill, and a great deal of land came open for development. Since a number of factories had located near the rail yard, and there was no comprehensive development plan and no single developer, things moved slowly and fitfully. The Panic of 1873, which hit just as Union Station was being built, also slowed things up. Very little building took place between 1873 and about 1879. When things got moving again, George A. Blake and his brother, Charles D. Blake, who had an established relationship with the Northern Central, built a number of houses, starting with these in 1884 and working until the next Panic, in 1893.<br />
<br />
J. Appleton Wilson describes the houses as being "near St. Paul," which these houses are not, so it is possible that Wilson is referring to different addresses. But these are the houses that Wilson photographed for Wilson Collection photo 3.33. <br />
<br />
George Blake was a successful builder-developer. He often worked with his brothers, Charles and Henry Blake. They are described as "Blake Brothers" in this Wiki.<br />
