Hello, I am trying to find out what type of building or facility was located at 911 E. Stiles in 1925. The death certificate which has this address listed says it is in Ward 3-1. I would like to now if this building/facility was a jail, poor house, boarding house, etc. John STISSEL/STIRREL who was found dead September 29, 1925 at this address moved to Baltimore after 1920, so I cannot use Ancestry.com to look up his name in the census. Is there a way that I can find out online what type of facility this is? I have tried an online city directory for 1920 and did not find anything. I am unable to go to a library at this time to look at census records. Thank you for your time, Dawn
Heritage Quest has a lot of US directories where you can research a name. They might have that directory and you could find him.
Phone the Maryland Historical Society (410 685 3750) and ask for library. Speak with Francis O'Neill. If you get hold of him he is one person in Baltimore who can answer your question.

Dawn, The 1914 Sanborn map shows a row house at 911 E. Stiles, no indication that it was any special facility. The same house is still there. This is in Little Italy, 1/2 block west of St. Leo's church and directly across the street from St. Leo's school. If you put the address in Google maps and go to Street View, you can see what it looks like today, fixed up pretty nice from the outside appearance. You can look at the 1922 Baltimore City Directory at www.archive.org but it does not list him.
