Hi Joan. I can't be sure of the street name either but it looks like Warwick ave. It's near Moreland, not Maryland ave. I was checking to see what happened to Irene's siblings in 1910 and after. Then you would have more of a clue if she was orphaned..... I noticed on the 1900 census that Irene's mother Anna was 23, from VA and Anna's parents were from NC. So I checked 1910 and see an Anna KOLMER, age 33, from VA, parents NC who is a widow. She is a servant with a private family on St Paul st, Ward 11. No children listed with her. It looks more like KA_MER to me. I don't see her in 1920 so hopefully she remarried. Might be able to check with the Archdiocese of Balto to see if this was an orphanage. All Saints Home appears to be a Catholic organization headed by Sr Marguerite. Trying to find out what happened to her siblings now.... Maybe more later.
