Say HELLO to the Carroll Mansion!
In 2020, during our renovation, the Peale will take up residence at the Carroll Mansion, which has also seen many varied and interesting lives!
According the Carroll Mansion’s website: “The first house structure was built on the current Carroll Mansion site between 1804 and 1808. Subsequent owners made additions to the original structure, the most extensive of which being made by Christopher Deshon, who owned the house from 1811 to 1818. Deshon sold the mansion to Richard Caton, son-in-law of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Richard and his wife Mary moved into the mansion in 1820.”
Located in downtown Baltimore at 800 E. Lombard Street, on the edge of the Inner Harbor and Little Italy, the Carroll Mansion is another federal style building which will generously host the Peale’s programs and offices. The Mansion is open for tours Saturdays and Sundays from 12-4pm as well as for special events. There is free parking for visitors on S. Front St. beside the Mansion and parallel with President St. with a provided parking pass. The Carroll Mansion is also served by MTA Busses 7, 10 and 11, an the Shot Tower/Market Place Metro Stop.
During the Peale’s extensive renovations, the Carroll Mansion will not only host our staff but also our lively and innovative programs, from exhibitions to storytelling workshops. Please check the Peale’s What’s On? page regularly for new programs.
