Some Picturesque bits of Baltimore.

BY G. Alden Peirson

A glimpse of Mount Vernon Place, including the Washington Monument and the Methodist Church. This site was covered by a dense forest at the time the erection of the Monument was begun, in 1815.

Jones’ Falls, named in honor of one David Jones, who is said to have been the first actual settler on the tract of land on which Baltimore is built.

He lived in 1661 on Front Street, at that time known as Jones’ Street.
