NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM
The Roland Park historic district is a planned residential neighborhood in northwest Baltimore. Located north of the intersection of University Parkway and Stony Run, and south of West Lake Avenue, it contains 1,068 structures. It was Baltimore's first residential development where deed restrictions governed the use of property and established common responsibilities for the maintenance of the area. Consequently, it remains today much as it was when first laid out in 1891.
One of the first planned garden suburbs, it is often studied by students of planning for its emphasis on the proper use of the natural topography to enhance the community. The architecture of the district typifies the romantic tastes of the turn of the century, with many examples of the Queen Anne, English Tudor, Georgian and Shingle styles.

Its most prominent features are the tower on the south corner, rising the full three stories, the irregularly shaped windows throughout, the large open porch across the front which wraps around the south side, and the irregularity of plan and texture.
