Rowhomes With Marble Steps

My 1st small screen & by far the most liked.  I've painted probably close to 400 of these.  Probably more but my memory is shot.

The image is of the NW corner of North Linwood Ave & Orleans Street in East Baltimore.  I shot the photo while sitting at the light.  Well that's the story, I shot the photo while driving.  As popular as it is, it was worth the risk.

The homes in this are were built around 1920.  They include the iconic white marble steps that at one time, were proudly scrubbed with Bon Ami powder & Pumice stone.  A glistening stoop was a point of pride in the Baltimore neighborhoods.
