Abstract
Built in 1853, with expansion and remodeling by famous architects of the time, the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion stands as the crown jewel of Mount Vernon Place and showcases the luxurious life style of Baltimore's high society. In 1971, the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion's significance was officially recognized by the Maryland Historic Trust. It was also listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Mount Vernon Place Historic District. The brownstone manor was once the home of Mary Garrett-Jacobs, the social arbiter of Baltimore City for many years. After several other owners in history, in 1962, the Engineering Society of Baltimore purchased the mansion and since then it has served as the home for dedicated engineers who contribute their intelligence and efforts to renovate and maintain this historic structure.
