Description

View of a bedroom in the Homewood mansion, located on North Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The Homewood estate was originally offered as a wedding gift in 1800 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton (1737–1832), a signer of the Declaration of Independence, to his son Charles Carroll, Jr (1775-1825). The estate was in the Carroll family until it was purchased by merchant Samuel Wyman in 1838 and then rented to various tenants before becoming the Country Day School for Boys (predecessor of the Gilman School). In 1904, Johns Hopkins University acquired Homewood and moved its downtown Baltimore campus north to the grounds of the estate. The mansion house served a variety of institutional roles before the university converted it into a museum in 1987.
