Downtown Baltimore/Inner Harbor

	Map		Reviews

Everything comes together Downtown - culture, people, architecture and activity. Residents like the density of businesses, shops, museums, restaurants and entertainment venues that make it easy to get around without a car.

Steel, iron and shipbuilding, Baltimore's heavy industries, have long identified eastern and southern parts of Baltimore as the city's industrial sectors. But blocks with industry on and off Pratt Street west of Poppleton, intermixed among residences, actually antedate them by decades. Sights, sounds, and smells of slaughterhouses, factories, and warehouses long exuded a peculiar mix. Grunts and squeaks from the stockyards, the clop clop of horse and wagon on cobblestones, and plant whistles at noontime blended with the waft of factory odors from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Here, a mix of industrial and home architecture forms an exception to the Baltimore pattern of geographic segmentation into distinctly residential or commercial-industrial districts.
