The Hollins Market neighborhood was originally known as the Hollins Park Community. Today, the neighborhood is known as Hollins Roundhouse. Hollins Market (a public market) is a contributing historic property within the Hollins Market Historic District. The public market was founded in 1836 by Joseph Newman, a piano manufacturer, and his brother Elias Newman. The market was destroyed in 1838 by a severe windstorm, and rebuilt, completed in 1839. Hollins Market takes its name from a prominent Baltimorean, John Hollins, who was instrumental in securing a modern water supply system for Baltimore City in 1804. Originally the public market’s structured buildings and three blocks of street vendors made the market the biggest of its kind in Baltimore City. Now the market consists only of inside stalls. According to a healthy foods assessment of Baltimore City Public Markets there is an epidemic of chronic health problems faced by inner city residents including childhood and adult obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure due to poor food choices and the limited availability of healthy foods. Findings suggest several strategies to promote healthy eating including increasing the availability, affordability, and promotion of healthy foods and/or restricting or de-marketing unhealthy foods. During a site visit at Hollins Market, it appeared that large amounts of unhealthy prepared foods, produce, and meats are being sold and the market is only 50 percent occupied at the present time. The Hollins Plaza Project will address this chronic health epidemic by offering services at the public market that will improve food choice. Hollins Market Plaza will not be a stand-alone project. It will be integrated into a major redevelopment project in the Poppleton neighborhood, just a block north of the Hollins Market neighborhood. The Poppleton community’s CenterWest Project will be an immense economic driver in the entire Southwest Baltimore community. This four-phase $800 million redevelopment project will include 1,700-1,800 housing units and 100,000-200,000 square feet of commercial space. The Hollins Market Plaza will start and finish before CenterWest is completed. The anticipated residents, employees and visitors of CenterWest will also be customers of Hollins Market Plaza. The community’s housing stock is elegant, Italianate-style homes built for influential Baltimoreans and small alley houses on 30-foot wide streets built for working class and poorer Baltimoreans. The neighborhood is a few blocks away from Downtown, the Inner Harbor, major hospitals such as UMD Hospital System and Bon Secours, the Stadium District, and the University of Maryland BioPark.

According to the Frederick Comprehensive Plan, new developments should, “…allow for land uses that enhance the Central Business District (CBD) as a tourism, arts, and business center.” Hotel 162 and Artist Studios will serve as a destination along Carroll Creek Park, attracting tourists and residents alike. We have crafted a leasing, financing and design plan that implements clever adaptive reuse and design to convert the existing undeveloped land and adjacent properties into an art-centric boutique hotel, with public amenities to support the Carroll Creek Park Amphitheater and the surrounding neighborhood. The development will include a 120 key hotel with an adjoining restaurant, a local food market and rentable art studio spaces. The City of Frederick has nurtured a vibrant art scene for decades. Public art is an integral part of the Carroll Creek Park. Public art such as Carroll Creek’s Community Bridge, iron trees, water features and mosaics not only attract visitors to the City of Frederick, but also enhance the city’s role as a cultural and recreational resource. 1 To support the Carroll Creek Park Amphitheater and the Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center, the development will incorporate artist and dance studios, as well as gallery space that will draw visitors to the site and further down the Park.

The Southwest Partnership neighborhoods located adjacent to downtown Baltimore, are Barre Circle, Franklin Square, Hollins Roundhouse, Mount Clare, Pigtown, Poppleton, and Union Square. Neighborhoods in Southwest Baltimore have a proud legacy of industrial enterprise. In the middle of the 20th century, dozens of factories, warehouses, and shops near Carroll Park employed thousands of West Baltimore residents. Unfortunately, shifts in traditional industry left long-term vacancies and abandonment of industrial properties, leading to a declining population in Southwest Baltimore.

This course is part of the PALS program at UMD. PALS (Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability) is a campus-wide action learning initiative that blends customized coursework, faculty expertise and student ingenuity to tackle challenges facing Maryland communities. ARCH 407 is a collaboration studio – that is, a studio that joins graduate students from Architecture with graduate students from Real Estate Development to work collaboratively on a design project. The project for the Spring 2015 semester worked with community stakeholders and practitioners to come up with a plan for development of the Monocacy Boulevard site in Frederick, Maryland. This studio concentrated on the problems and theories of urbanism and urban design techniques in the context of The City of Frederick and the State of Maryland. Applied theories ranged from Landscape Urbanism, Neo-Traditional Design, Transit- Oriented Development, ecological systems and infrastructure, building typology, and street design. Through early semester research exercises and community workshops, ARCH 407 explored the relationships between cultural, social, and ecological systems in the built environment. The course introduced issues of field (architecture that reaches past its building envelope to shape landscape, ecology, culture, economy, and social behavior), environment, theory, tectonics, and assemblage. By applying fundamental urban design theories and sustainability principles, students proposed three schematic designs illustrated with graphic data conveying the variety of possible development opportunities.

821-825 Druid Park Lake Drive is a one-acre greyfield site in Baltimore City’s Reservoir Hill neighborhood. Our redevelopment proposal, The Olmsted, is to construct a 205,890-square foot structure with 218 mixed-income residential units. Reservoir Hill is a historic neighborhood known for its Victorian mansions and architectural character. The site is bounded to the north by Druid Hill Park, a 745-acre park, the third oldest established park in the United States. The park was considered the centerpiece of Frederick Olmsted, Jr.’s 1904 comprehensive park plan for Baltimore.
