The
Homewood house is an impressive display of Federal-period
architecture. It was built in 1801 by Charles Caroll Jr., son of
the wealthy Charles Carroll -- a signer of the Declaration of
Independence whom George Washington called "the most monied
man in America." Much of the museum’s ornamentation and
furnishings reflect the finest materials and craftsmanship of the
early 19th century, including pieces once owned by the Carroll
family.
This museum is a nice place to
visit if you are interested in the architecture or lifestyle
experienced by many aristocratic American families of the 19th
century. It is located on the Johns Hopkins University campus just
off of Charles St., before the University Pkwy. The best means of
getting to the Homewood House is by taxi or private vehicle. --
