Description
For more than seventy years a row house in Baltimore, on Hollins Street, was the residence of Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956), one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century.
Once part of Baltimore’s City Life museums, the house, with many original furnishings, was a superlative example of how successful families lived during its era. For Mr Mencken, 1524 Hollins Street was “as much a part of me as my own two hands,” and his personality can be seen in everything from the parquet floors to the garden tiles.
The City Life museums closed in 1997. The now stands empty, a shuttered burden for the City of Baltimore, which plans to dispose of the property.
