Homewood Museum Architecture Lecture: Restoring Clifton Mansion
Homewood Museum Architecture Lecture: Restoring Clifton Mansion
Join Nicholas Cairns and Timothy Horjus of C&H Restoration and Renovation, as well as Baltimore architect Vince Greene, for a lively conversation about their current restoration work at Clifton Mansion, the one-time summer residence of Johns Hopkins (1795-1873). Using images of ongoing work at the site, they will discuss the process of renovating the mansion while working to balance historical preservation with the needs of a building that serves as an event venue, work space, and historic house museum. A reception with the speakers will follow the talk.
This event will take place in the Mason Hall Auditorium.

A National Historic Landmark, Homewood is one of the best-surviving examples of Federal-period Palladian architecture in the nation. Built circa 1801 for members of Maryland’s prominent Carroll family, the house also was home to at least 25 enslaved individuals, including William and Rebecca Ross and their two children and Izadod and Cis Conner and six of their 13 children. Homewood is best experienced via our award-winning guided tour, which winds through the house’s 11 elaborately furnished rooms and tells the intertwined narratives of the Carroll, Conner, and Ross families.
