1. The Samuel and Anne Hopkins Grand Staircase and Tower Restoration, Clifton Mansion Marker
Clifton Mansion was the summer residence of Quaker merchant Johns Hopkins. In founding the Johns Hopkins University, Hospital, and Medical School, Hopkins transformed higher education, medicine, and the City of Baltimore. He became the first important American philanthropist. It was in this Italianate villa that he hosted local, national and international dignitaries who were at the forefront of nineteenth century progress and prosperity.
We honor Samuel and Anne Hopkins, long-time stewards of Clifton, who, in recognizing the Mansion's historic importance, guided its rescue from years of profound neglect and inspired the restoration that has transformed it back to its original brilliance.
Clifton Mansion is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, 2019
Erected 2019 by Friends of Clifton Mansion; Clifton Restoration Team.
