The Baltimore Centennial Homes project, developed in collaboration between Baltimore Heritage and City Councilman James Kraft, recognizes families that have been in the same house for 100 years or more. These families have anchored Baltimore’s historic blocks and neighborhoods through good and bad times. Their stories show the changes that our communities and our city have experienced as well as the critical roles that neighborhoods and their families have played in keeping historic neighborhoods thriving.
The Centennial Homes program has received generous support from the Maryland Humanities Council and the Middendorf Foundation.
Has your family or a family you know lived in the same house for over 100 years? If so, we would love to hear from you. For more information feel free to call our office at 410-332-9992.
