William Price House - 910 Fell Street
William Price was a prosperous builder of Baltimore schooners in the late 1700s. The substantial house looks as it did then except that a full third floor has replaced the original top half story. Price's shipyard, where he built the USS Hornet (1805), stretched behind the house, a typical pattern for Fells Point yards. William's house faces that of his son, John Price, also a ship-wright, who lived at 909 Fell Street. Frederick Douglass worked at the Prices' shipyard just before he made his escape to freedom.
