Bauernschmidt Mansion - By George!

The Bauernschmidt Mansion is the story of the Georges. It was built for George Bauernschmidt, a prosperous Baltimore beer baron, who commissioned George Frederick, the famed architect of Baltimore’s City Hall to design the house. In 1940, it was acquired by George Sander, becoming the Sander and Son Funeral Home. Along with being a story of the Georges, the Bauernschmidt building is also the story of the evolution of the African American community.
