Dundalk, Liberty and Cornwall Gardens put the cars out back
Dundalk, Maryland
![]()
Thirty two story brick buildings went up on Dunmanway between 1937 and 1942, paid for in part with Federal Housing Administration money and laid out to FHA rules that chased daylight into every apartment. Cars were parked in separate garage buildings so the courtyards between the blocks could stay landscaped and free of traffic. It is a small, intact piece of the design thinking that produced the postwar American garden apartment.
