Description:
The Lillie Carroll Jackson House in Baltimore, Maryland, is a beautifully restored circa-1868 brick rowhouse in the Bolton Hill Historic District (B-64). The property lies on the southwest side of Eutaw Place, a divided boulevard with a landscaped median containing mature trees, walking paths, and statuary. The surrounding blocks contain three- and four-story rowhouses in brick, brownstone, marble, and granite. Late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century churches, synagogues, schools, and public buildings are interspersed. The three-story, 5,016-square-foot rowhouse with a raised basement is built to the property line and has a northeastern façade with three bays. Paired doors are set within a limestone-trimmed, arched opening that is accessed by granite and marble steps. Most windows are two-over-two with marble sills and jack arch lintels. A bracketed Italianate-style cornice caps the façade. The southwest (rear) elevation contains a two-story oriel window on the second and third stories. A one-story, early-twentieth-century brick garage and courtyard sit southwest of the house and are accessed by Morris Street. The nominated property contains two contributing resources: the house and the garage.
