This grand 1850’s mansion was a private home for the business elite until the early 20th century, when it became the site of the first orthopedic clinic in America, under the direction of famed Johns Hopkins surgeon William Steven Baer. Clientele included Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Katherine Hepburn, Errol Flynn and countless others.
Acquired by Founder of House Calls of D.C and Art Collector Paul Scott Rhodes, MD in 2016, the property has been faithfully restored to its original grandeur.
Madison House offers nine comfortably-furnished and uniquely decorated bedrooms, each with private bath. Beds are dressed with fine linens and down comforters.
Guests have access to all of our lovely common rooms: an Entertainment Room, spacious Salon and Parlor, large courtyard and ample private parking.
The decor of Madison House brims with artistry, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly — a serene oasis just blocks from downtown Baltimore.
