This house was built in 1880 as part of 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 George and Charles Blake. The developer was Catherine L. McKim, widow of John S. McKim, Sr., probably in some kind of collaboration with her son, the Rev. Harrison McKim, who was then Rector of a church in New York.
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 and the Rev. Harrison McKim developed the east side of the block, using Wilson & Wilson as their architects and George and Charles Blake as their builders. 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, 1031, 1033, and 1039 were not part of this project and were designed by other architects.
In the same year, her other son, John S. McKim, Jr., developed the west side of the block in the same style but with a different team, Wyatt & Sperry architects and A.L. Gorter builder.
