Plank family-affiliated War Horse Cities has shared details for a set of three-story row homes it plans to build in historic Union Square in Southwest Baltimore.
Documents shared by the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation, or CHAP, show a set of six houses planned for 1216-1226 Hollins St., and four more around the corner at 14-20 S. Stockton St. CHAP historic preservation planner Walter Gallas said at a hearing today the homes would be three stories and 33 feet tall, with four of them on Hollins Street having their own garage on the ground floor.
Appearance-wise, renderings show 10 contemporary homes with a mix of brick and other materials on the façades. CHAP’s commissioners raised no objections to the height, scale and massing for the planned dwellings, but recommended War Horse explore using an entirely brick veneer or materials “that are consistent with the historic fabric in the surrounding community” before returning with more detailed design plans.
