This huge house is on the corner of Gwynns Falls Pkwy. & Garrison Blvd. This is just one of hundreds of big, old Baltimore houses falling to ruin in the middle of the city. Some properties are so dilapidated it's often hard to even tell which houses are occupied anymore.

Beautiful houses such as these are in such detriment because it has become entirely too expensive for those who grew up in Baltimore to maintain homes in the city; the rising energy costs alone make home ownership difficult.
