University of Baltimore

The University of Baltimore is a public university in Baltimore, Maryland. It is part of the University System of Maryland. UB's schools and colleges provide education in business, law, public affairs, and the applied arts and sciences.
The area near campus was first settled in the 1700s, with farm land and wood plots surrounding the Jones Falls, which was then a practical transportation medium. The river's transportation legacy presaged later uses: With the creation of the competing Mount Royal and Pennsylvania railroad stations, development in the area moved into high gear. Buildings constructed in the first half of the 1900s included two that would later be used by UB: The Loyola Savings and Loan building , and the "old garage" , which would become one of the first indoor automobile sales venues in the United States. These were erected in addition to significant residential development in the Midtown-Belvedere area, which benefitted heavily from the neighborhood's status as a regional hub on competing railroads.
