| NFS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Mar?land whiteLead Works(B-1013) ** <_. ,. -n , Name of Property Continuation Sheet Baltimore City, Maryland Section 7 Page 3 County and State with wrought iron hangers. The manufactory loft is an integral part of the Maryland White Lead Works and contributes to the significance of the resource. Service building The service building includes the stable, cooperage, and carpentry shop. It is sited south of the west wing of the manufactory loft, along the western property line. The stable is a 2-story, 3-bay brick building that adjoins the wing of the manufactory loft to the north and the cooperage to the south. It is accessible from the yard only, through a loading bay in its east wall. The cooperage is a 3-story, 6-bay brick building. The carpentry shop is a 2-story, 3-bay brick building. A 1-story brick hyphen links the cooperage and the carpentry shop. The cooperage and carpentry shop are accessible from the yard, through a wood-frame shed. The service building is in near ruinous condition. The roofs and portions of the interior structures of the buildings have collapsed and the cornices are crumbling. The exterior walls are primarily intact and the footprint of the building remains. Nevertheless, the service building maintains an important spatial relationship within the quadrangle and represents the shipping facet of the MLWC. The service building, although it is in near ruinous condition, helps establish the sense of time and place of the Maryland White Lead Works and contributes to the significance of the resource. Maryland White Lead Works - Non-contributing buildings and alterations The Maryland White Lead Company ceased business operations ca. 1896. After this date, the site was no longer used for its original purpose and the Columbia Paper Bag Company converted the complex for paper bag manufacturing. As is typical for industrial complexes with new uses, changes were made to the complex. The wing west of the manufacturing loft was expanded between 1914 and 1951 by a new addition that added 6 bays to the west and a 3rd story. This addition replaced the northern-most portion of the stable and a brick barrel shed. Sanborn maps show that three 1-story MWLW buildings were demolished. The large wood-frame corroding house was demolished by 1902, the small wood-frame corroding house was demolished by 1914, and the brick barrel shed was demolished by 1951. The fact that the corroding houses utilized wood-frame construction for a harsh chemical process may indicate that these buildings were relatively impermanent structures. Four 1-story buildings were added to the site between 1890 and 1951. The additional buildings are sited to the rear of the complex. Wood-frame warehouse 1 Between 1890 and 1902, a metal clad, wood-frame warehouse building with a gable roof was constructed east of the service building, in the yard. Because this warehouse was constructed after the MWLC abandoned the site, it does not contribute to the Maryland White Lead Works. |
