Eleanor Roosevelt, Katherine Hepburn and Joe DiMaggio are only a few of the celebrated people who have visited 4 East Madison Street in Baltimore, Maryland. Around the turn of the 20th century, the mansion was purchased by one of the country’s earliest physician’s groups, The 4 East Madison Orthopedic Association. This group was headed by Dr. William Stevenson Baer, a pioneering orthopedic surgeon at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Dr. Frederick Baetjer, Maryland’s first radiologist. Their unique skills and reputations brought many athletes, celebrities and Baltimoreans to these premises. They included John F. Kennedy, Wallace Beery(movie actor), Mickey Mantle and Flo Ziegfeld. We invite you to come and walk in the steps of American heroes, revisit the past and discover whether one of your heroes was here also.
