The Irish Shrine at Lemmon Street is a historic site that celebrates the history
of the immense Irish presence in Southwest Baltimore City in the late 1840's.
Currently under construction, this site consists of a group of 5 alley houses
where the Irish immigrants who worked for the adjoining B&O Railroad lived.
Two of the houses, 918 and 920 Lemmon St., will become the Irish
Shrine and Railroad Workers Memorial, a self-guided interpretive site that will
allow visitors to look into a furnished house and see how its original working
class inhabitants lived.
