Never having been divided into apartments, Scott Ponemone's 1850s Mount Vernon townhouse is a true Baltimore treasure. The original plaster medallions, crown moldings and pocket doors with etched glass provide the setting for his collection of high-style early 19th-century American furniture - many pieces Baltimore made - and his print and book collections, including trailblazing graphic novels of the 1920s and 1930s. On display in Scott's second floor studio are some of his watercolors, a most recent subject has been of couples he approached in public places as well a a series of mandala-like linoleum cuts that became the heart of his book "Circularity," which he co-authored with poet Karen Klein. Grab a cocktail, some hor d'oeuvres, and take a tour of one of most unique collections in Baltimore.

These safe havens were crucial in launching the careers of iconic figures like Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke, and Jean Toomer.
