Liriodendron's
History The House that Love Built |
|||
 Laetitia and Howard Kelly
|
Howard Kelly, a successful
surgeon and founding member of the Johns Hopkins Medical College, maintained a home in
downtown Baltimore on Eutaw Place, but like most professionals of his time, left the city
in the sweltering summertime. With nine children, the Kellys needed a spacious summer
home. In 1897 the Kellys paid $12,000 for 196 acres on the western edge of Bel Air. The Baltimore architectural firm of Wyatt and Nolting designed the home, a tribute to the Palladian villas Laetitia knew in Prussia. |
