. ...................... ................  After working on the theatre index for many years, and with the assistance of my brother , Adam Paul, I began to notice other buildings of a forgotten Baltimore. Please be sure to visit Adam's site at this link.    In 2004, I began to collect old postcards, maps, advertisements  and photographs of  Baltimore, which showed a view of the City quite different from the City  today. While I'm not one to say the past was by any means better than today, I do believe that a place where someone can sit back and remember the Baltimore that was once is needed all the more. I pass by these buildings and locations all the time, and I have tried to document as many as possible on this web site. Ideas, suggestions, corrections and yes......complaints,  are always welcome.

............................... .................................... John Kilduff back in the 1960's

Who was John Kilduff ? John Kilduff was my grandfather, who passed away in 2000. For many years , he was a commerical artists for several big movie houses in downtown Baltimore, including the Century / Valencia,  Keiths, and the Parkway. I suspect he also did work for the Hippodrome, Mayfair and New. After he passed away, copies of his work and original art work were found in his collection for the many old movies for which he worked on. He would also work on the theatre fronts, in which large signs and posters were displayed in front of the theatres, showing the public the next big show. ...........................................
