When this Baltimore row was designed in 1865, it was intended to be typical development. But a tragic paranormal accident on the property took the life of the developer’s oldest son, Jacob.  In tribute, he named it Jacob’s Way, later to become known as Mercy Row, and redesigned the Mercy Row in a new, elaborate style that continues to attract distinctive tenants—from ruthless corporate climbers, to swingers, to experts in the paranormal. 

As a lover of history, I became enthralled by the strange history of Mercy Row and the unusual stories of the people who live in here.  So I created this Website to share my discoveries and reveal a glimpse of what goes on here through our blogs.  You’re welcome to read them, and to make your own entries as our lives interweave on Mercy Row.
