| | Live in Baltimore - Neighborhood History |
 | | Nearly 100 years ago during the Great Fire of Baltimore, the rampaging flames were fortuitously halted along South Charles Street, preserving an enclave of housing which is now known as Otterbein, home of Otterbein sugar cookies, a holiday treat enjoyed in many Baltimore households. |
 | | The inner City was being rebuilt from the fire of 1904, and as Baltimore prospered once again, the nearby South Baltimore communities of Otterbein, Federal Hill, and Sharp-Leadenhall prospered in similar fashion. |
 | | McCormick Spice Company enlarged their facilities, several fresh fruit and vegetable warehouses sprung up along Charles and Hanover Streets, new piers were constructed as far east as Little Italy, and Baltimore began to regain its predominance as one of the busiest port cities along the Atlantic Coast. |
