A visit to Patterson Park in Baltimore City is not complete without a view of the Pagoda on Hampstead Hill. A building that is strangely out of place in a Baltimore City park, but one that has a rich and long history.

The Pagoda of Patterson Park

The pagoda was designed by architect Charles H. Latrobe, and was built as an observatory in 1891 to commemorate the 1814 Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Patterson Park itself represents an era when many American cities regarded the urban park as a symbol of their prosperity and civility.

While known as the Pagoda because of its oriental architectural appearance, the design was intended to reflect the bold Victorian style of the day. From the top of the tower one can view downtown, Baltimore’s many neighborhoods, the Patapsco River, the Key Bridge and Fort McHenry.

The building was closed in 1951 due to vandalism and disrepair, but the local community group of citizens “Friends of Patterson Park” and the City of Baltimore took upon the task of restoring the once glorious building to its former glory. In 2002, surrounded by pomp and circumstance the building was re-opened.

The Pagoda is currently open 12 noon to 6 pm on Sundays from April – October

Hi, Ellie (of Ellicott) -- this is a nice localism post.  When I first got out of college, I worked for a company that was headquartered in Silver Spring, MD.  So I'd get to go back to Baltimore on business a few times a year and really enjoyed the area (though I never saw this building).  Have a great week, Eric ^0-0^

Wow, how could the city let that building stay closed for over 50 years? What a unique place. I'm glad to see it reopened, and people being able to enjoy it again. It would have been a real shame if Baltimore lost a landmark like that.
