Last Friday I decided to take a day off work so Siri and I could check out some museums. \u00a0First was the Baltimore Science Center. \u00a0Its a quick bike ride from Formstone Castle. \u00a0There we saw the mummies of the world. \u00a0We had time to spare after so we headed up Charles Street to Mt Vernon and the Maryland Historical Society. \u00a0I had only a few days left to activate our 1 year family membership. \u00a0While we were there we found a really cool birdseye drawing of Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The north-south running street on the left is Washington and on the right is Chester. Castle Street is the small street between them. Our house is the white wall with a flat roof about 3\/4 of the way up to Pratt Street. \u00a0It has a back yard with trees and what looks to be stables.<\/p><\/div>\n

The E. Sachse, & Co. published a bird’s eye view of the city of Baltimore in 1869. \u00a0I had seen this in some of my Baltimore history books before, but always tiny. \u00a0Blown up on a wall it had so much detail. \u00a0I had originally thought that the artist had just drawn in notable buildings and flubbed the rest. \u00a0After closer inspection, it is pretty damn accurate. \u00a0The types of roof are correct as are the number of windows.<\/p>\n
