YISITS TO COUNTRY PLACES.— NO. 

 AROUND BALTIMORE, MD. 



11, 



In passing through Baltimore one morning, we stopped by invitation at the 

 town garden of Thomas Winans, Esq., one of those extraordinary residences 

 which seem to the passer as if the town had grown around and inclosed a rural 

 home, which was only bounded by the needful streets that had been run through 

 by those delectable corporations called City Councils. But, on the contrary, Mr. 

 Winans has pulled down a small village to make a rus in urbe, and, in some re- 

 spects, it is the most remarkable town residence in any American city. As we 

 should say in Philadelphia, it now occupies about as much space as one of our 

 squares, but additional houses had been lately purchased, and they were also to 

 be demolished, to make room for grass and graperies. The usual order of things 

 is here reversed. 



As you pass the place, the natural inquiry is, what prince or royal personage 

 lives here ? The answer is made by the owner himself — a self-made American 

 artisan (and well may he be proud of the title), is the designer, and owner, and 

 pier.
