The two buildings, at 1001 and 1101 W. Pratt, were once part of the B&O's vast Mount Clare Shops complex that sprawled across Southwest Baltimore. The landmark 1884 roundhouse — the museum's visible focal point — rises due east of BBH's campus. ...
Built around 1916, two-story 1001 W. Pratt housed the carpentry shop, he said. The other building, constructed a decade or so later, held the railroad's research and development lab and offices on its three levels. Most B&O structures in the area were razed years ago. ...the museum, which rebuilt the 22-sided roundhouse after a major snowfall collapsed the roof in 2003, can afford to buy the property.
