Bolton Hill is a neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland, with 20 blocks of mostly preserved buildings from the late 19th century. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places,[2] preserved as a Baltimore City Historic District,[3][4] and included within the boundaries of Baltimore National Heritage Area.[5] The neighborhood is bounded by North Avenue, Mount Royal Avenue, Cathedral Street, Dolphin Street, and Eutaw Place.[3] Bolton Hill is a largely residential neighborhood with three-story row houses with red brick, white marble steps, and high ceilings.[2] There are also larger more ornate originally single-family houses, many houses of worship, parks, monuments, and a few large apartment buildings.[3] Many significant residents have lived in the neighborhood, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Woodrow Wilson, the Cone sisters, and Florence Rena Sabin.[6]
