Fells Point sits on the Baltimore waterfront and carries two layers of protection: it is both a National Register historic district and a Baltimore City historic district. Preservationists have worked for decades to keep its buildings standing and in character, and the homes inside them reflect that history. Cleaning here means caring for old materials in a waterfront setting.

A preserved waterfront neighborhood

Baltimore's Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation lists Fells Point as both a city historic district and a National Register district. The commission has designated 38 neighborhoods as local historic districts across the city, and Fells Point is among them.

The Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fell's Point has worked since 1967 to see that significant properties in the neighborhood are maintained and renovated within historic standards. That long effort is a big part of why so much original building fabric survives.

Old rowhouses and converted buildings

Like much of Baltimore City, where about half of all homes are single family attached and about 41.5 percent were built in 1939 or earlier, a historic district like Fells Point is largely made of old attached buildings. Narrow stairs, shared walls, deep window sills and original wood and plaster are the norm, and they want mild products and soft tools.

Old paint is the main caution. Maryland requires owners of rentals built before 1978 to provide a valid lead inspection certificate at each tenant turnover, and Baltimore City's rental license requires current lead certification for each unit. Cleaners damp wipe painted trim and sills and never sand, scrape or dry-scrub flaking paint. See the older home guide for more.

Living with the water

Being on the harbor has a cost. Baltimore's Office of Sustainability records flooding at the Fells Point Recreation Pier when Hurricane Isabel's storm surge pushed up the Chesapeake Bay in 2003, a storm that left more than 570 Baltimore homes uninhabitable. The city has also mapped the parts of its waterfront prone to nuisance, or high-tide, flooding in a state-required plan.

For a ground floor or basement here, keep stored items off the floor and rugs easy to lift. Routine cleaning keeps those spaces clear and dry on the surface; cleaners do not do flood restoration, which needs a specialist.

Damp summers by the harbor

Baltimore summers are muggy, with July dew points at BWI of about 63 to 68 degrees in NOAA's normals. In an attached waterfront home with windows only front and back, bathrooms and lower floors stay damp longer. A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean keeps tile, grout and fixtures from darkening, and a One-Time Deep Clean resets the detail work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fells Point Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Yes, twice over. Baltimore's preservation commission lists Fells Point as both a city historic district and a National Register historic district, and a local preservation society has worked since 1967 to keep its buildings maintained within historic standards.
Parts of the waterfront can. The city's Office of Sustainability records flooding at the Fells Point Recreation Pier during Hurricane Isabel's 2003 storm surge, and the city maps waterfront areas prone to high-tide flooding. Keep basements and ground floors free of items stored on the floor.
With care. Many buildings here predate 1978, the year Maryland uses for its rental lead rules, so painted trim is damp wiped and never sanded, scraped or dry-scrubbed. Flaking paint is pointed out to the owner rather than cleaned around.
Both follow the same Baltimore area table by bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. A one bedroom condo usually sits on the first row, while a three-story rowhouse may sit higher depending on its size.
