Robert Garrett, the president of the B&O Railroad, hired architect Stanford White to rebuild this great mansion in 1884. The house had a three-story spiral staircase that Mrs. Garrett likes to descend to make a grand entrance to greet her guests. She was the leader in Baltimore society and was known by everyone. Mrs. Garrett died in 1936. The mansion was sold 27 years later and was purchased by the Engineering Society of Baltimore. Reportedly haunted. |
