It made me think of Woodberry since there’s so much stone there

This looks to me as a photo take in the old country. My boss once owned a house in Union Sq.

He found a couple of 19th century photos. One was a portrait of a German man, and one was a family standing behind a casket, in front of a church in Easter Europe.

When I see an old photo and every one in the photo looks like they were cut out of the same bolt of cloth, I think Old country. Once they get to America, inter marriage make groups of people look like a patchwork quilt.

No it's definitely Baltimore. From around 1910 I think

What makes you think its Baltimore area? Could be, there were many small quarries and other places where workers of one or two ethnic groups worked. And it could be an off the boat European extended family which gathered for an outing. More data is needed than the photo shows.

It includes my grandfather's parents and he told me it was in Baltimore. They were gathering for the matriarch's birthday and she lived near otterbein and later by druid Hill. I don't know where she was living at this exact time because I don't know the exact date

Open the picture up and look at the back. People generally wrote the date and location on the back of photographs.back in the day

Ok, this sounds crazy, but could it be in the old section of the Zoo? I think some of the old walls have stone like that, and it would be the sort of place a whole bunch of people could go easily. Not sure if they would wear suits to the zoo, but it was a different time.

Not many people realize but Baltimore had several orphanages.... St Leo's, Hebrew Orphan Asylum, St Vincent Infant Asylum, Home of the friendless to name a few. Could be an orphanage.

Reminds me a little of the factory photos of the Baltimore majolica pottery with the kids, but those had a brick background.
