Orianda
House
The area around the Crimea
/Leakin Park/Gwynns Falls is so beautiful. What better way to
celebrate, than to have an art show! So much has been done by
the community and the City of Baltimore to make this park a
better place to visit. Through the years, the old mansion on the
grounds, "Orianda House", has also been improved upon thanks to
the efforts of Parks and People, as well as Baltimore Chesapeake
Bay Outward Bound which is headquartered here.
The art show will be held
from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM inside the Orianda Mansion. We artists
are joining together because of our love for the park and to
further the efforts of Rick Smith and his associates at the
Friends of Orianda House. We will be donating a portion of our
sales to the care and upkeep of the Orianda House.
So, please come
by "the mansion," learn about its history and enjoy a cup of
tea-- Heide Grundeman will be serving. We hope you will visit.
The art work is affordable.
Rick Smith, Director, founder of Friends of Orianda House will
be giving lectures during the day
at Orianda Mansion. His lectures will include a tour of the
mansion
including historical photos and historic objects of the Mansion and Leakin Park.
Richard S.B. Smith. Director, founder of Friends of Orianda House: He grew up in the
Franklintown area just west of Crimea Estate, also known as Gwynns
Falls/Leakin Park. Since there were not a lot of children in the
neighborhood at the time, he spent most of his time sitting on the
front porches of elderly residents of Franklintown listening to
their stories of days gone past. Thus struck his interest in
history, especially of this area. Richard began taking classes at
Catonsville Community College (CCC) and Parks and Recreation Leisure
Studies. From there he went to Goucher College and took their
Historic Preservation Course. Since 1988, he has gathered numerous
photographs of the park and surrounding community and has a large
pictorial collection inside Orianda House at Crimea Estate. He has
done a few video and audio interviews with local residents who are
no longer with us. His history office is open from 10am until 2pm
Monday through Thursday, and Saturday and Sunday by appointment. He
can be reached at 410-299-7613. When visiting his office at
the park, you can view old newspaper articles, photographs of the
park, old artifacts, and a slide presentation, and listen to stories
of days gone past.
