“The Weaver House illustrates the development patterns of Baltimore’s 19th century suburban development and upper middle class cultural patterns as well as marks the beginning of 20th-century development of suburban neighborhoods A German immigrant, William H. Weaver came to the United States in 1834 and became wealthy as a butcher at the Hanover Market and then as a partner of the Harmon and Weaver brick makers. He bought several tracts of land along Harford Road between 1858 and 1879, and in 1887 he built his Queen Anne style house. Weaver’s life resembles a common rise from a European immigrant to wellestablished Baltimorean, and his house helps to illustrate 19th-century life in Baltimore City and its vicinity.”
