Niagara Falls, landscape, undated

The collection consists of two boxes. Box one holds eleven folders containing 566 photoprints. Box two contains 128 envelopes containing 527 film negatives, some of which correspond to the photoprints. The images were made circa 1905 to 1938, documenting Baltimore residences, parks, monuments, churches, museums, street scenes, gardens, and public buildings. Some images are copies of earlier photographs or of prints depicting Baltimore. There are also depictions of sites in Baltimore County, Annapolis, Williamsport, and elsewhere in Maryland, and in Washington, D.C., Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina.

Included are many houses in Baltimore, some of which are not well-documented elsewhere: Glen Ellen and many now-demolished Mount Vernon area residences. One set of images documents a hydraulic construction process underway on University Parkway in Roland Park. There are also scenes of a 1911 ground-breaking ceremony for a Boy Scout headquarters in Mount Washington, with many individuals identified.
