How Baltimore celebrated 2010 (PARK)ing Day

The finest of Baltimore’s greenest came out on Friday in creative and sustainable solidarity for international (PARK)ing Day, transforming various city parking strips into actual parks.
Meghan Hazer from the Maryland Chapter of the ASLA said the exercise was intended to get people thinking about the way less dependency on cars could improve quality of life in Baltimore.
“We’ve taken a parking space and, just for a day, transformed it into a park,” she said, relaxing on a bench surrounded by potted yellow black-eyed susans and pink rudbeckia. “Just think if you didn’t have to store cars, what you could do with that space.”
Another group, Floura Teeter Landscape Architects, created a parking site on Franklin Street. Around “50 people stopped by to play Bacci ball, enjoy refreshments and learn how a green roof works,” said Robin Yasinow, a spokesperson for Floura Teeter. “The firm created a green roof exhibit on top of the structure,” said Teeter (images below).

- Originally built as the Art Deco Brager-Gutman discount department store in 1929, the building was considered a “high rise” at the time and was eventually re-appropriated as Epstein’s Department Store. Located on the Southwest corner of Park and Lexington, Epstein’s went on to become the oldest family-owned department store chain in Maryland This is one of the few historic properties on the Superblock that the developers propose to preserve.

- At the southeast corner of Howard and Lexington, the Read’s drugstore built its flagship building, designed by Smith and Mary Architects in 1934. It is an example of some of Baltimore’s best Art Deco architecture. A ship’s mast adorns the corner that overlooks the Howard and Lexington corner. Due to mold and water damage inside, the developers plan to demolish it.

- The Cast-Iron McCrory’s Building, one of the last 20 cast iron buildings left standing in Baltimore, was originally used as three individual shops before being purchased by the McCrory’s Company and incorporated into one large department store.

-
- The little theater on Howard, originally designed as the New Pickwick Theater by Philadelphia architect Franz C. Koenig in 1908, this tiny box-shaped theater is the last Nickelodeon theater still standing in Baltimore. The theater was sold in 1917 and reincarnated as the Howard Theater in 1924. Architect Oliver B. Wright remodeled the building in 1920, which included adding a brick and terra-cotta exterior. The theater closed in 1985. It would be demolished under the developer’s plan.
-
- Depicted here in its prime, the original exterior of the New Pickwick Theater was illuminated by 800 lights and crowned with a sunburst-adorned face. Photo compliments of Baltimore Heritage and WestsideRenaissance.
-
- The four-story building is an early example of steel framing. The extra support eliminated the need for large pillars, which in turn allowed for the use of more glass; hence the large bay windows. The developers would preserve this building.
-
- The two rowhouse buildings are examples of early rowhouse buildings that would be demolished under the developers’ plans.
-
- In recent years this and the other small buildings depicted in the following slides were used as jewelry store, bar and lounge, clothing store and hair salon. They include examples of Pre-Civil War buildings that the city and state deem a preservation priority. All would be demolished by the developer.
-
- One of the largest buildings on the block, the former Greyhound bus terminal was constructed in 1960, has no historic merits and would be demolished.
