History
editCalvert Court Apartments opened its doors in fall 1915. Edward Hughes Glidden and Clyde Nelson Friz, partnered in the firm Glidden & Friz, were the building's architects.[2][3][4] It comprised a red-brick five-building complex with a courtyard, with architecture in an "Italianesque" style, stucco and stone trimmings, and a "Spanish-style roof," all built by John F. Kunkel, with 24 of the 32 units in the complex two stories high each, with floors contained due to a stairway. Until 1947, the building functioned with apartments that tenants could rent.[5][6] Later, the building would be described as having colonial architectural style elements.[1]
In 1947, Calvert Court Apartments became a residential housing cooperative. They were advertised as on a "joint ownership plan," along with Tudor Arms Apartments, Rochambeau Apartments, and Washington Apartments, the latter at the corner of West Mount Vernon Place and Charles Street.[7] Calvert Court Apartments was also advertised as part of a cooperative purchase plan with Washington and Tudor Arms Apartments.[8][9] In January 1948, the apartment would be listed, by the Baltimore Sun, as a housing cooperative.[10][b]
