Started in 1875, Maury Donnelly & Parr insurance company is located in a lovely historic building at the corner of Commerce and Water Streets. Part of its work is to insure other historic buildings around the country in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. (And full disclosure—they also insure us, Baltimore Heritage!). Stay tuned until the end—we are delighted to be joined by MDP’s Joslyn Bredholt for a quick tour inside to see some great historic building details like a birdcage elevator and an old pulley system for transporting documents! Thanks for watching and see you soon with another video.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
