  • The Engineers Club

    The Engineers Club occupies the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion, a landmark residence on West Mount Vernon Place in Baltimore that has been home to the Engineering Society of Baltimore since 1962. The mansion traces its origins to 1853 and bears the imprint of two of America's most celebrated Gilded Age architects: Stanford White, who contributed a carved wood vestibule, Tiffany stained glass windows, and an iconic spiral staircase, and John Russell Pope, who later added the library, theater, and conservatory. The result is a building unlike any other in the city — more than 40 rooms with 16 fireplaces, 100 windows, and interiors that shift from ornate baroque to classical restraint as you move through the floors. Four event spaces accommodate weddings, galas, corporate meetings, and private celebrations for groups ranging from an intimate dinner for two up to 250 guests.
