About McElderry Park
McElderry Park is a neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is north of Patterson Park, northeast of Butchers Hill, east of Johns Hopkins Hospital, west of Ellwood Park, and south of Madison-Eastend. It is bounded by Fayette Street, Monument Street, Linwood Avenue, and Patterson Park Avenue.
In the early 1980s, McElderry Park suffered from white flight and abandonment by
working class homeowners. The closing of nearby public housing flooded the
neighborhood with section 8 tenants, street crime, and illegal drug trade.
Throughout the 90s, the area became the most crime-ridden in East Baltimore.
Efforts are underway to turn things around, replacing abandoned buildings with
productive uses such as public gardens.
Tench Tilghman Elementary School is located in McElderry Park.
