The building still stands at the corner of Caton Ave & Wilkins ave. The house that Ruth built

 

The name of the school in Baltimore is the St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys. The famous student was George Herman "Babe" Ruth. In 1919, there was a fire that destroyed much of the school. It was later named the Cardinal Gibbons School. Some other famous students include Al Jolson (entertainer), Norman Black (basketball player), and Mark E. Ferguson III (Navy Admiral).

 

Excellent quiz, Paddy! Glad to see our YN knows history!

 

And a tad bit of personal history to this story....My Grandfather was a fireman who fought the 1919 fire. He was injured during the fire,and never returned to the fire department . In these days horse and wagons were still in use to fight fires. He passed in 1965 at age 86.

 

thats crazy!

 

Thanks again, I look forward to receiving the coin and will update when it arrives!

 

I'm pleased to report that the dime arrived today and looks GREAT! Thank you so much Paddy54!
