Significance: The Poppleton area, located on the west side of the City of Baltimore, is significant for its unusually large concentration of early and mid-nineteenth century buildings, and is one of the few remaining areas in Baltimore where the appearance of the pre-Civil War city is still reflected. The area is also notable as a continuum of Baltimore row house architecture, with examples from every period of the nineteenth century. Poppleton is composed almost exclusively of two and three story, two and three bay wide, brick row houses set close to the street. These generally range in date from circa 1840 to circa 1900, with the majority from the period 1840-1870.
