McKim House, 522 Park Ave. under demolition, 1940

The collection consists of one small box with 69 photoprints and three negatives. The photoprints are all approximately 6 x 11 cm or smaller. The images were made between 1930 and 1940 by Francis E. Old, Jr., of streets and buildings in Baltimore city. The sites and structures run the gamut from fine townhomes such as the McKim House and the Carroll Mansion to the tiniest of Baltimore rowhomes in alleys like Born Court. There are some distinctive aerial photographs of streets and buildings in the downtown business district.
