Historical Note
The interviews in this collection were conducted by Guy Hollyday between 1986 and 1993 in Baltimore, Maryland as background research for his book, 'Stone Hill: The People and Their Stories'. In 1982, Guy Hollyday and his wife, Pam Fleming, moved in to their home at 719 Field Street in Baltimore, attracted by the stone houses with fireplaces, big kitchens, yards, trees and gardens. In 1986, Guy began photographing the residents of Stone Hill.
For more than a year, he interviewed and photographed former residents of Stone Hill. In general, he sought out the oldest living members of each of the families that settled in Stone Hill before the 1940s. Many old families have gone unrepresented, however, either becasue Guy was unable to locate living members, or more rarely, because a person declined to be interviewed.
In June 1988, Guy Hollyday's photographs were exhibited at the Hampden Library Center, as part of the centennial of Hampden's annexation into Baltimore City. This also led him to publish a book in 1994, 'Stone Hill: The People and Their Stories'.
