Evergreen House

	Map		Reviews

The former residence of Ambassador John Work Garrett and his wife, Alice Warder Garrett, Evergreen is a 48-room historic house museum located on 26 acres on North Charles Street in Baltimore.

Evergreen House, an impressive Italianate building with classical revival additions, was built in 1857 by the Broadbent family. It was purchased in 1878 by John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for his son, T. Harrison Garrett. Throughout the 1880s, T. Harrison and his wife, Alice Whitridge Garrett, carried out an ambitious program of renovation and construction on the estate.

Their eldest son, John Work Garrett, inherited the house in 1920 and continued with his wife, Alice Warder Garrett, the family tradition of modifying and expanding Evergreen. Upon his death in 1942, Mr. Garrett bequeathed the estate to The Johns Hopkins University, with the stipulation that the mansion remain open to "lovers of music, art and beautiful things." Today, Evergreen showcases the more than 50,000 extraordinary and eclectic objects assembled by two generations of the Garrett family.
