6. BMA_210808_42.JPG: Benjamin H. Latrobe Spring House or Dairy - c. 1812 The spring house or dairy, originally situated over a small spring, was designed to keep perishables such as milk cool in interior troughs of spring water. It was located at Oakland, the country estate of Robert Goodloe Harper (1765-1827), one-time United States Senator from South Carolina and son-in-law of Maryland signer of the Declaration of Independence Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Harper's picturesque Oakland estate stood a few miles from the Museum in present day Roland Park, just east of Falls Road near the present Spring House Path. Influential British-born architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820), President Thomas Jefferson's architect for the United States Capital, designed this neo-classical building around 1812. A decade later it was praised as the "prettiest building in Oakland" and described as an "ancient temple...handsomely embellished with oak trees and flowers with an inscription on the frieze, ‘Pour Elle.'" Unfortunately, the ornamentation and the inscription no longer exist. When the building was offered as a gift to the Museum, John Russell Pope, the designer of the BMA's stately 1929 structure, suggested the Spring House be reconstructed with as much of its original materials as possible. Upon its relocation to its present site in 1931, the Spring House was rebuilt using not only original columns and pediments, but also bricks and remnants of rubble walls. Careful siting of the structure reinforced the strong east-west axis of Pope's building. Visitors looking straight across the lawn from the Spring House towards the patio and doors of the Pope building can see all the way through the entire building to the east side of the Museum. Several changes were made in the Spring House when it was installed at the Museum. Its original second story, with access via an exterior rear staircase, was removed. As a result, the interior of the building became a single large room. A brick floor was added, with herringbone-patterned borders to show where troughs carried cooling water from the stream below. Second story windows were relocated, and a fifth louvered vent was removed. Upon completion, the building was used briefly as a gallery of 18th- and 19th- century architectural elements, most of which are now included in the BMA's American Wing. During the 2003 restoration, a new wood roof was installed and for original louvered vents, sealed during the initial reconstruction seventy-five years ago, were opened, allowing air to flow freely through the building again. Based on surviving vernacular structures, the spring house was painted with an historic yellow color.

Wikipedia Description: Baltimore Museum of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, was founded in 1914. It is located between the Charles Village and Remington neighborhoods, immediately adjacent to the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University, though the museum is an independent institution not affiliated with the University.

The highlight of the museum is the Cone Collection, works by Matisse, Picasso, C�zanne, Manet, Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Renoir, brought together by Baltimore sisters Claribel and Etta Cone.

The building was designed by architect John Russell Pope. Systems engineering for the building's original design was completed by Henry Adams (mechanical engineer).

Since Sunday, October 1, 2006, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum have had free admission year-round as a result of grants given by Baltimore City and Baltimore County, excepting for special exhibitions.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is the site of Gertrude's Restaurant, owned and operated by chef John Shields.

Cone collection:

The Cone collection, housed at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, is one of the most important art collections in the world. It was the work of the Cone sisters, Claribel and Etta Cone, who in the early 20th century set out to acquire as much as they could of the work of artists such as Matisse and Picasso especially, and also C�zanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Renoir, and others who are now the acknowledged giants of the era.

2021 photos: This year, which started with former child president's attempted coup and the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, gradually got better. Trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (mid-July) I made a quick trip up to Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, up slightly from 2020 levels but still really low.
