Weekly Post

I found three good primary sources at the Enoch Pratt Library: Homeland History and Heritage by Barbara M. Stevens, North Baltimore: from estate to development by Karen Lewand, and Crowning the Gravely Hill: A history of the Roland Park-Guilford-Homeland district by James F. Waesche.

 I was unable to read through them all, but was able to read in the one book (North Baltimore: from estate to development) the section on Homeland. From in that section I was able to find out some of the basic history of Homeland and the communities it includes: Bellona-Grittings, Kenneth Square, the Orchards, Cedarcroft, and Wyndhurst. In this book, I found out that Roland Park, Guilford, and Homeland most likely get grouped together not only because of their generally close locations but also because the Roland Park Company developed all of them.
