Perkins Homes, Baltimore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Perkins Homes are a public housing development in Southeast Baltimore located in between Fells Point and Little Italy bounded by Lombard Street on the North, Central Avenue on the West, Broadway on the East, and Eastern Avenue to the South. The community is located within the East Harbor Empowerment Zone of the Fells Point area and has been one of longest standing Housing Projects in Southeast Baltimore.

City Springs Elementary School is located at South Caroline and East Pratt Streets.

[edit] Trivia

  • According to Homicide: Life on the Street, fictional detective Al Giardello was raised in the Perkins Homes, as it was the neighborhood inhabitated by his mother's side of the family. Giardello's father's side of the family was from the neighboring Little Italy.
  • On Homicide: Life on the Street, The Perkins Homes are mistakenly shown as the now demolished Flaghouse Homes. This is proven by the location (The Flaghouse Homes were North of Little Italy across Pratt Street, not East of Central Avenue like the Perkins Homes) and the highrise buildings that were present in the Flaghouse Homes that are not present in the Perkins Homes (All the buildings in Perkins Homes are less than two stories high).
