Pascault Row is a historic row of houses that was built in 1819 and has contributed to the architectural heritage of the city. These buildings are typically representative of the 19th-century residential architecture that once characterized the area. Pascault Row has been a part of Baltimore’s urban landscape for many years, reflecting the city’s growth and development during the time it was constructed. In 2018, as a component of adding underground power, UMB installed landscaping beds (protecting the porous stone foundations with three-sided pool liners) and added traditionally styled mailbox elements that serve as “sentries” at each entry.
Pascault Row served as student housing from the late 1970s through summer 2025. It now is part of a larger UMB initiative for public-private redevelopment along the Lexington Street corridor.
