The Oakenshawe Historic District is a residential neighborhood in north central Baltimore, comprising 334 contributing resources which reflect its development during the period 1890-ca. 1926.
The district is primarily characterized by brick rowhouses of the "daylight" type, constructed in the 1910s and 1920s; their floor plan, innovative at the time of their construction, admitted natural light throughout the interior. Exterior treatments reflect the influence of the Colonial and Neoclassical revivals, with brick facades, multipaned sash windows, and related traditional detailing.
The district also includes several detached houses representing the area's condition prior to the rowhouse development; these houses have vernacular forms, typical of the city's residential buildings in the period, and are detailed with elements of the Victorian Gothic and Italianate styles. The district is highly cohesive and retains a high degree of integrity.
