In the summer of 1917, the E.J. Gallagher Realty Company began construction on a row of modern porch front houses on West 27th Street in the Remington Neighborhood of Baltimore. The houses were completed by the end of 1917 and sold through the winter and spring of 1918. Scores of new families started moving in to the neighborhood.
Fast forward 100+ years and the, “Lifetime Homes” built by Mr. Gallagher still stand and Remington is once again experiencing a period of growth. Remington Row opened its doors in 2017, welcoming many new neighbors while others have embarked on renovating older row houses like the ones Mr. Gallagher built in 1917.
The owners of 217 W 27th street have answered the call of Mr. Gallagher's desire for residents to enjoy an urban existence of beauty and dynamic neighborhood spaces. In the years of lovingly restoring and adding historic elements to the home, many modern improvements have been made, to make this home a true gem.
Some of the restored historical features throughout the house include; the front porch, entry doors, paneled vestibule, parlor window with stained glass transom, decorative mantels in the parlor and dining room, mirrored hall tree, stained glass pocket doors, paneled doors with custom faux graining, original hardware and operable transom windows throughout, eight restored antique light fixtures, and second floor front double hung sash windows with operable shutters.
The modern updates that lend to the highest level of comfort include;
Full bathroom and kitchen remodel. The basement was fully updated with the following; New 200 amp electric service panel, new copper water service line, new gas piping, new combi boiler and on demand water heater and new basement plumbing fixtures. And just in time for summer, a New Central AC air handler and condenser that includes a whole home UV air purifier was installed in 2024.
