Lithuanian Hall

Our Story

In 1903, the Kęstutis association in Baltimore acquired private premises on W.Barre Street. This center for Baltimore Lithuanians functioned for 12 years until it was transferred in 1915 to the Lithuanian Corporation, which used it as headquarters. Because the building was too small for the needs of Lithuanian organizations, the Corporation’s leaders decided to build a new Lithuanian Hall.

In December of 1915 and April of 1917, two buildings on the corner of Hollins and Parkin streets were bought. The two s-story brick houses, interconnected with a mutual inside well, were renovated. The buildings’ renovations were entrusted to architect Stanislaus Russell, and construction went on from the spring of 1920 to the fall of 1921. The opening ceremony of the new Lithuanian Hall took place on February 17th, 1921, and festivities continued all month. An opening banquet was organized, the play “Pilėniečiai” was performed, and music and sports events took place. These month-long events showed the celebrative mood with which Baltimore Lithuanians greeted the opening of a new Lithuanian Hall.

The Lithuanian Hall continues to serve as a cultural and social center for Lithuanians to this day. Lithuanian Hall is currently celebrating its 100th anniversary!
