Baltimore Street
 


It is uncertain what  year Johns Hopkins came to live with his Quaker Uncle, Gerard T. Hopkins to learn the grocery business. Some sources indicate he was seventeen which would bring him to Baltimore in 1812, two years before his father Samuel died.  He was in Baltimore by September 17, 1813  when he was received into the Lombard Street Meeting, and that is more likely the year in which he arrived in Baltimore to stay, 12 months before the British attack on the City.




1820-1832: Johns Hopkins lived at Beltz[h]oover’s Hotel, Baltimore Street, until he contracted Cholera.[3] 
Beltzhoover’s Hotel was a fashionable place to stay.
* Henry Clay stayed there in March of 1829.[4]
* “Between his unsuccessful stints in the Army and at West Point, [Edgar Allen] Poe spent a few months in 1829 sharing a room with his cousin at the Beltzhoover’s Hotel on the corner of Hanover and Baltimore streets.” [5]
* The German Society of Maryland met regularly at Beltzhoover’s Hotel “southeast corner of Baltimore and Hanover streets.  It was also called “Indian Queen” Hotel, and celebrated in its days.[6]

Franklin Street
According to Helen Thom, Johns Hopkins Resided at Belshoover’s [Beltzhoover Indian Queen Hotel] until he suffered an attack of Cholera and  moved “to one of two houses on Franklin …  left to him by his father, taking his two brothers with him.” [7]  In fact Johns Hopkins bought two houses on Franklin Street, east of St. Paul in June 1833 and sold them to his mother Hannah in December 1842, by which time he was living at his new rental address, 177 Lombard Street, the former Dr. Peter Macaulay mansion.[8]

* In 1840 Johns Hopkins also acquired a county estate, Clifton,  at an auction by the trustees of Henry Thompson.  He resided there in the summers, and created a park-like setting for a mansion he remodeled  according to plans by  Architect John Niernsee (ca. 1850-1852) and his partner, James Crawford Neilson.[10]
* In 1840 (possibly as early as late 1839) Johns Hopkins moved to a rental on Sharp Street.  From the Sharp Street address in April of 1840, he wrote his mother inviting her to come to Baltimore.  By late 1842 she was in Baltimore and Johns Hopkins had rented the mansion built by Dr. Peter Macaulay at what was then 177 Lombard Street to accommodate her and his two sisters.
*  According to the 1840 Census, submitted in November of 1840,  the Sharp Street residence was in the 9th Ward and consisted of 7 individuals, of whom two were “free colored persons” and one a slave between the age of 10and 24.  In the tax lists for the 9th Ward compiled by September 1841,  Johns Hopkins owned no slaves at Sharp Street.[11]  He had furniture, plate, two horses and a carriage, assessed at $1600.  None of his immediate neighbors (some who were his future Trustees for the Hospital and the University)  owned slaves, but nearby L. Collins Lee was taxed for Martha (age 20) and William (age 14), assessed for a total of $525.  Who owned the slave noted on the 1840 census and whether or not he had been acquired for the purpose of setting him free, has yet to be determined, but it is possible given the ages of the two white men in the household, that the younger male was Johns Hopkins’s brother who was disowned by the Courtland Street Orthodox Friends meeting for owning slaves in 1839. 
* In 1842 the tax ledger for Baltimore City still places the Sharp Street residence in Ward 9, even though the Wards had been re-drawn.  In that year all of Johns Hopkins’s properties in the city are listed in Ledger 4, f. 144 and he is not taxed for any slaves.  His brother Samuel, whose entry follows that of Johns Hopkins, however is, which means that following Samuel’s being read out of the Orthodox meeting for selling liquor and owning slaves in 1839, he continued to do so.

[8] Baltimore City Land Records, TK 228, ff. 271.  Hannah was in Baltimore by December 1842 when Johns Hopkins sold her the properties on St. Paul and Franklin.  It is likely that the properties on Franklin were income properties for Hannah (the equivalent of Social Security of the day for single women and widows), and that she resided with Johns Hopkins on Lombard Street until her death in 1846 when her funeral was from her “late residence on Lombard Street,”  Baltimore Sun,  Thursday, November 26, 1846.  According to Murphy’s City Directory, In 1844/45,  James H. Luckett of the, firm of Neale & Luckett, was living in the house where Johns Hopkins had resided at 21 Franklin st., and which Johns Hopkins had sold to Hannah in 1842.  In 1846, when Hannah died, the properties on St. Paul and Franklin were listed in her inventory along with enough personal effects for accommodations at 177 Lombard Street. See: Baltimore County Inventories, Vol. 59, 1847-48, ff. 343.  As the administrator of Hannah’s estate,  in May of 1848, Johns Hopkins sold the Franklin Street properties to Samuel Hopkins for $8500.  Baltimore County Land Records, AWB, no. 396,f. 258 (erroneously recorded as f. 358 in 1864).
[9] In 1840 this address was in 9th Ward (now  between Lombard and Baltimore) but in the reorganization and mapping of the wards in March 1841, the Sharp Street address was encompassed in  the 11th ward, even though the tax records continued to place it in the 9th ward.

[11]Care must be taken in utilizing the tax lists to document slavery in the city.  The tax list for the 9th Ward for 1841, although compiled after September 1841, followed the old ward boundaries of 1831-1840 and not the new boundary ordinance of March 1841. The first person charged with compiling the tax data for Ward 9 had failed in his duties and a new tax assessor was appointed in September of 1841.

Johns Hopkins: residential addresses

1813-1873



1851 annotated detail from Sidney & Neff, Plan of the City of Baltimore, https://lccn.loc.gov/2004629026  
It is uncertain what  year Johns Hopkins came to live with his Quaker Uncle, Gerard T. Hopkins to learn the grocery business. Some sources indicate he was seventeen which would bring him to Baltimore in 1812, two years before his father Samuel died.  He was in Baltimore by September 17, 1813  when he was received into the Lombard Street Meeting, and that is more likely the year in which he arrived in Baltimore to stay, 12 months before the British attack on the City.

(1) 1813-1820
Pratt Street
1813: Johns Hopkins  went to live with his uncle and aunt, Gerard T.  and Dorothy Hopkins, staunch Quakers.  There he resided for about seven years to learn the trade of grocer.[1]  
  • According to Helen Thom, at  the South River school he was known as “Johnsie Hopkins,” a name that he apparently was known by only to his family and servants after he moved to Baltimore.  See Thom, p. 12, and p. 60.  Pietila, Antero. The Ghosts of Johns Hopkins: The Life and Legacy That Shaped an American City. 2018) uses "Johnsie" as the title of a chapter about Johns Hopkins career in Baltimore. It is possible that he was known by his family as 'Johnsie'. There was another contemporary Hopkins in Baltimore County that is listed on the  tax records as "Johnzey” to distinguish him from his father, Johns Hopkins, the part owner of Friend’s Discovery.[2]

  • Henry Clay stayed there in March of 1829.[4]
  • “Between his unsuccessful stints in the Army and at West Point, [Edgar Allen] Poe spent a few months in 1829 sharing a room with his cousin at the Beltzhoover’s Hotel on the corner of Hanover and Baltimore streets.” [5]
  • The German Society of Maryland met regularly at Beltzhoover’s Hotel “southeast corner of Baltimore and Hanover streets.  It was also called “Indian Queen” Hotel, and celebrated in its days.[6]

According to Helen Thom, Johns Hopkins Resided at Belshoover’s [Beltzhoover Indian Queen Hotel] until he suffered an attack of Cholera and  moved “to one of two houses on Franklin …  left to him by his father, taking his two brothers with him.” [7]   In fact Johns Hopkins bought two houses on Franklin Street, east of St. Paul in June 1833 and sold them to his mother Hannah in December 1842, by which time he was living at his new rental address, 177 Lombard Street, the former Dr. Peter Macaulay mansion.[8]

Luckett of the, firm of Neale & Luckett, was living in the house where Johns Hopkins had resided at 21 Franklin st., and which Johns Hopkins had sold to Hannah in 1842.  In 1846, when Hannah died, the properties on St. Paul and Franklin were listed in her inventory along with enough personal effects for accommodations at 177 Lombard Street. See: Baltimore County Inventories, Vol. 59, 1847-48, ff. 343.   As the administrator of Hannah’s estate,  in May of 1848, Johns Hopkins sold the Franklin Street properties to Samuel Hopkins for $8500.  Baltimore County Land Records, AWB, no. 396,f. 258 (erroneously recorded as f. 358 in 1864).
[9]  In 1840 this address was in 9th Ward (now  between Lombard and Baltimore) but in the reorganization and mapping of the wards in March 1841, the Sharp Street address was encompassed in  the 11th ward, even though the tax records continued to place it in the 9th ward.

[11] Care must be taken in utilizing the tax lists to document slavery in the city.  The tax list for the 9th Ward for 1841, although compiled after September 1841, followed the old ward boundaries of 1831-1840  and not the new boundary ordinance of March 1841. The first person charged with compiling the tax data for Ward 9 had failed in his duties and a new tax assessor was appointed in September of 1841.
