I love these 5 minute histories. Part of my family has deep roots in the city. In fact, my 3rd great grandfather, William Carroll (no ties to the wealthy Carrolls that I’ve found) died in a workplace accident at Mount Clare Station in 1866.
I use to own a large portion of the B&O Railroad. But, things got tight and I sold it when I had to pay rent on several houses and then buy a hotel on Marvin Gardens.
Thanks for this. Imho, a roof such as the roundhouse's that has weathered 102 years of snow storms, heavy and light, and, I'm certain, a number of hurricanes, is a pretty good track record. As my late father said, if a man built it, it's gonna break sometime. Again, good job.
in the latter 1940s there was a new addition to the roundhouse that came from Hope Slatter's old slave pen. As it was torn down historians preserved the huge oven that had been in the yard of the pen. it was reconstructed in the roundhouse. Since then it has disappeared and b no one remembers it. The greatest mystery?
Ralph, thank you for all of your research on the slave trade in Baltimore. We have a Facebook group about this and would love for you to be a part of it. If you want to, you can join here: facebook.com/groups/4976979452388523

Thanks for the history and information!
Our trip to the city is going to be great 😊 thanks to you!
Thank you for the video.
Dates and maps of B&O expansion during the 1800 would be interesting. 👍👍
