Restoring Fell’s Point’s Ship Caulkers’ Houses

Homewood Museum’s 25th annual architecture lecture will explore recent work to restore the Ship Caulkers’ Houses in Fell’s Point. The two houses, built around 1798, are contemporaries of Homewood Museum but tell a very different story of the free Black families who occupied them centuries ago. Courtney Capute and Sarah Groesbeck, board members of the Friends of the Ship Caulkers’ Houses, will discuss the group’s mission to rehabilitate the houses and shine a light on their significant but little-known social history. A reception will follow the talk.
