BALTIMORE, Md. — Built in 1870 just after the Civil War, the alley houses in the 1100 block of Sarah Ann Street were home to some of Baltimore’s working-class black residents.⁠
⁠
They were built in 1870 by Miles White.⁠
⁠
“He was a Quaker, so he was against slavery, and he would purchase enslaved people in North Carolina and set them free,” said Nicole King, an associate professor and chair of the Department of American Studies at UMBC. “Some of the early homeowners actually are African Americans from North Carolina.”⁠
