Description

<p>The <b>Baltimore City Circuit Courthouses</b> are state judicial facilities located in <a href="/pages/w/103126306394248">downtown Baltimore</a>, <a href="/pages/w/108178019209812">Maryland</a>. They face each other in the 100 block of <a href="/pages/w/119873821392000">North Calvert Street</a>, between East Lexington Street on the north and East Fayette Street on the south across the <a href="/pages/w/111957845487710">Battle Monument</a> Square, which held the original site of the first courthouse for <a href="/pages/w/112560055460539">Baltimore County</a> and Town.</p><p>The first courthouse was built for new federal courts in the city. It was undercut in 1784 by Leonard Harbaugh with a pair of arched stone/brick arched piers to permit extension of Calvert Street to the north by passing underneath. A second federal courthouse of <a href="/pages/w/107962472560320">Georgian</a> and <a href="/pages/w/341911192564487">Federal</a> style architecture in red brick and limestone trim with a cupola was constructed to the west of old Courthouse Square (later renamed <a href="/pages/w/111957845487710">Battle Monument Square</a> in honor of the War of 1812). It was sited on the northwest corner of <a href="/pages/w/119873821392000">North Calvert</a> and facing East Lexington Street, completed in 1805. This second Courthouse was partially burned on 13 February 1835 during a spate of arson fires in the city during the <a href="/pages/w/129750780400563">bank riots</a> that year, but it was soon repaired. An adjacent masonry building to the west was constructed for a Records Office.</p><p>A third courthouse, a federal district courthouse, was built 1896-1900, on the entire city block west of the <a href="/pages/w/111957845487710">Battle Monument</a>. It is bounded by <a href="/pages/w/119873821392000">North Calvert Street</a> on the east, East Lexington Street on the north, East Fayette Street on the south and <a href="/pages/w/144879008856095">St. Paul Street</a> on the west.</p>
