Join us inside Winans Mansion, a 46-room building that for many years Baltimoreans called “The House of Mystery.” Ross Revillon Winans, who commissioned architect Stanford White to design this house, came from the elite American railroad engineering family, and spent the last years of his life in this house as a recluse. Want to see this inside for yourself? Check it out on the Maryland House & Garden Pilgrimage tour of Mount Vernon on April 25, 2026. Thanks for watching and see you soon 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.
