This series features originals and copies of these pictures. The following projects are represented: Camden Redevelopment (Area 7); Broadway Urban Renewal Area (Area 4); Hilton Street and Frederick Ave.; St. Mary's Industrial School; Carlin's Circle; Edmondson Ave. and Hilton St.; Inner Harbor Basin; Baltimore-Washington Expressway; East-West Expressway; Mount Vernon Place; Jones Falls Expressway; Harbor Tunnel; Stiles St.; and Battle Monument.
