Violetville The History of A Neighborhood
by Fran Bartels & Hattie Ellis
Did you know that Violetville has a book? In 2003, Fran Bartels and Hattie Ellis decided to write a book about the history of the neighborhood. They conducted extensive research and wrote this amazing 154 page book with information dating back to the 1600s. The book includes photographs, personal stories, and a well documented timeline
The contributors of the book include residents, Maryland Historical Society, Pratt Library, Baltimore Center for Urban Archaeology and more! A lot of time and love went into capturing the history of Violetville.
