| contents | At Home with History Biemiller, Lawrence Historic Sites Architecture Universities Exhibits Courses Interior Design Museums State History Charles Carroll Jr. would be long forgotten but for a single notable accomplishment: he built an exceedingly handsome house. Begun in 1801 with money from his wealthy father-- Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence-- the Federal-style home has near-perfect proportions and airy rooms. The house is called Homewood. In the early 1900s, after the Johns Hopkins University was given what had once been the younger Carroll's 130-acre estate, Homewood set the architectural tone for the university's new campus, to which the house lent its name. There's just one problem, says Catherine Rogers Arthur, Homewood's curator: Hopkins students rarely venture inside, even though Homewood is now a museum that attracts tourists six days a week--even though the house stands right next to the university library. Ms. Arthur and a donor whose father paid for Homewood's renovation in the 1980s are working to make the house "an academic resource for students." This article provides the story of Homewood's history and discusses a course in which undergraduate students researched and planned an exhibit entitled "Feathers, Fins, and and Fur: the Pet in Early Maryland." |
