Descripción del sitio
Listed in 2011, the Peale Municipal Museum Building was the first structure commissioned in America for museum purposes. The site served as city hall for nearly 50 years, a "colored school," and then was Baltimore's only municipal museum for 65 years. Since 1997 the building has sat vacant. While some repair work has been done, more work is needed to restore the building and bring it up to ADA compliance. Funding is needed to continue the efforts by the Baltimore History Center at The Peale to complete the needed work.
