Baltimore City Hall, the first Baltimore City Landmark

Baltimore City Landmark is a historic property designation made by the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Nominations are reviewed by the city's Commission for Historical & Architectural Preservation (CHAP) and planning board, and are passed by Baltimore City Council. The landmarks program was created in 1971. [1]

Contents

CHAP also maintains a list of Historical and Architectural Preservation Districts, separate from its landmarks program. [2] The district program includes 37 unique districts, many of which are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [3]

As of 2012, the program had designated 163 exterior Baltimore City Landmarks and one interior landmark (for the interior of the Senator Theatre, whose exterior is also landmarked). [4]

Also as of 2012, more than 56,000 properties were located in 24 city historic districts, receiving the same protection as individual Baltimore City Landmarks. [4]

Criteria

In assessing landmarks, the city Commission for Historical & Architectural Preservation (CHAP) developed criteria based on the National Register Criteria for Evaluation. The city commission looks at: [1]
