Wolfe Street, Baltimore Maryland

            As there are only eight remaining wooden houses in Fell's Point along with those that are covered or altered, and few others still standing and in tact throughout the rest of the City, it is crucial that these places are protected. By working with the owners, residents, local and city preservation groups, preservation experts, and other interested parties, these structures can be preserved. Through documentation of exterior and interior conditions, extensive research into the history and construction of the houses, stabilization and rehabilitation efforts where necessary, and landmark designation, these parties can protect the few remaining wooden houses in Fell's Point and the inner city of Baltimore. Expedient and organized action is essential, as some of these places are in great need of repair. So little remains of Baltimore's earliest housing and the houses face numerous threats, thus, but protecting these wooden houses and properly caring for them, the lessons they teach about historical architecture in Baltimore can remain for generations to come.
