Are you looking for a roofing contractor in Baltimore’s Ednor-Gardens-Lakeside neighborhood?
Ednor-Gardens-Lakeside in North Baltimore offers homes ranging from single-family to semi-detached and townhouses in a number of different styles. The neighborhood was a development of Edward G. Gallagher and his sons, Edward and Norman (Ednor). Residents enjoy access to nearby Lake Montebello and a convenient location in the middle of the city.
The entire Ednor Gardens-Lakeside community is located on the former estate of General Samuel Smith, who fought in the Revolutionary War. The property was later transferred to the Garrett family, who owned the B&O Railroad and were one of Baltimore’s most powerful families in the 19th century. When Robert Garrett died in 1896, he ceded 1,400 acres of the property to his widow, Mary Garrett. In 1923, Mary Garrett (who had since remarried) sold a 49-acre parcel to Edward Gallagher, a prominent real estate developer, for $146,299. Other transactions occurred until Gallagher controlled much more land. Gallagher named his new development Ednor Gardens, for his two sons, Edward and Norman, by taking the first few letters of their names.
