THE MANSION
The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion is a jewel in the crown of Baltimore’s most distinctive historic homes. A unique example of a building that combines the work of two of America’s most distinguished and influential architects: Stanford White and John Russell Pope, the Mansion epitomizes nineteenth-century Golden Age elegance and grandeur.
Like other large American cities, Baltimore’s Golden Age was the era of no income tax and little sense of social conscience. Born in 1851, Mary Sloan Frick lived in that “age,” the daughter of a wealthy attorney and his wife, one of three children.
