Baltimore City Landmarks

Baltimore City Hall, the first Baltimore City Landmark

Baltimore City Landmark is a historic property designation made by the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Nominations are reviewed by the city's Commission for Historical & Architectural Preservation (CHAP) and planning board, and are passed by Baltimore City Council. The landmarks program was created in 1971.[1]

CHAP also maintains a list of Historical and Architectural Preservation Districts, separate from its landmarks program.[2] The district program includes 37 unique districts, many of which are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]

As of 2012, the program had designated 163 exterior Baltimore City Landmarks and one interior landmark (for the interior of the Senator Theatre, whose exterior is also landmarked).[4]

Also as of 2012, more than 56,000 properties were located in 24 city historic districts, receiving the same protection as individual Baltimore City Landmarks.[4]

Criteria

In assessing landmarks, the city Commission for Historical & Architectural Preservation (CHAP) developed criteria based on the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. The city commission looks at:[1]

  • Significance to Baltimore history or historical events
  • Association with people significant to Baltimore's history
    • Providing or being likely to provide important information to Baltimore prehistory or history
  • The architecture, culture, engineering, or archaeology involved in the site
    • Having distinct characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction
  • Integrity of location, design, materials, craftsmanship, feeling, or association
    • Having high artistic value or being part of a distinguishable entity
    • Representing the work of a skilled or notable artist, architect, or other worker
