Mount Clare (Maryland)
"Mount Clare" — also known as "Mount Clare Mansion", known today as the Mount Clare Museum House — is the oldest Colonial-era structure in the City of Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. The Georgian style of architecture plantation house exhibits a somewhat altered five-part plan. It was built on a Carroll family plantation beginning in 1763 by barrister Charles Carroll the Barrister, (1723-1783), a descendant of the last Gaelic Lords of Éile in Ireland and a distant relative of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, (1737-1832), longest living signer of the Declaration of Independence and the richest man in America in his later years, also the layer of the "first stone" of the new Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, just a short distance away in 1828.
"Mount Clare" has been maintained by the "The National Society of Colonial Dames in Maryland, the local chapter of The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America" since 1917, after the City of Baltimore, purchased a large portion of the former estate in 1890 as its third large landscaped park. In 1970, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark.
==Description==
"Mount Clare" features a portico on the front facade with a projecting bay above. The upper bay contains a Palladian window. The City of Baltimore built Palladian pavilions connected by hyphens on either side in 1910 as a concealed public toilets structure,〔 but these do not reflect historical construction that were originally on the estate.〔 They have since been converted to a library and a colonial-era kitchen exhibit.〔 A circa 1912 (stable ), once used to house the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks' Park Ranger horses, is restored and now used for classroom space as well as a rental facility for-events and meetings.
