We love the layers of history at the corner of North Ave and Harford Road. Join us to learn how the Eastside District Court found its home in a former Sears department store. Before that, the property was the Samuel Ready School for Girls. And before that? In the 1780s, the French consul to Maryland established a home here. We are delighted to have a very special guest, 6th grader Nadia Green-Noel, to help us tell the story of the Samuel Ready School. Thanks for watching and see you next week with another video!

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
