At Thomas Brown, Woodwright, antique wood working machines that have virtually vanished elsewhere are humming in action in this special shop in Remington. Thomas Brown custom mills architectural products for historic buildings all over Baltimore and beyond. Amazingly, this is mostly done on machines that pre-date the Great Depression. The shop uses very few machines built after 1929 and keeps some machines that date as far back as the 1830s! Please join us for a Behind the Scenes Tour of this workshop located in a 1905 former icehouse building in the Remington neighborhood.

Thomas Brown’s handicraft in architectural millwork appears across the city at places like Hampton Mansion, Evergreen House, and the Garrett Jacobs Mansion. A little further afield, his shop has has helped to restore the Gracie Mansion in New York, the Harvard University Center in Boston, Winterthur Museum in Delaware, and the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Please join Mr. Brown as he walks us through his shop sharing stories of his rare historic wood-working equipment and the architectural woodwork that they produce.

Street Parking is available. Enter on the Hampden Avenue Side. This is a working shop, so you may get a little dusty!
