The old Goucher Hall, the castle located at 2201 St. Paul Street, is officially the permanent home of the Baltimore Lab School. The school, which began renting the facility in 2004, completed its $1.5 million purchase of the historic building.
According to Richard Meltzer, school principal, the former home to Goucher College before its move to Towson, is a perfect fit for the school whose mission is to teach children with learning disabilities. Staying in Baltimore was also important, he says.
The circa 1887 edifice, whose 19th century interiors remain largely intact, has also housed the Red Cross and later was the home of the Hearing and Speech Agency's Gateway School.
