I also remember there was a public bath house to the side of the market. As most Baltimoreans still lived in cold maintained

The Sheppard Pratt Hospital once had its' own fire fighting equipment and had a fire tower much like the one at Oldtown. The tower was used after a fire to hang the hoses to let them dry out. If they were coiled up while still damp inside the natural cloth fibers that made up the hoses would have mold set in and they'd rot.
