Why it mattered

house — Mariner's Row matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Mariner's Row is very prominent in the landscape over looking the cove at Baltimore. The uniform composition and stonework provide architectural continuity along the terrace and the retention of some of the original features such as limestone lintels, sash windows, bargeboards and original slate adds considerably to its architectural qualities. There was probably a connection between this terrace, the boathouse to west and a now demolished coastguard station which was located to the east. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
