History
The Roland Park Company purchased most of the land surrounding what is today Keswick. By 1915, Roland Park had been largely completed the company looked to purchase the Allen L. Carter property between St. Mary's Female Orphan Asylum and the Stony Run stream. During the 1920s and 1930s the Carter property was developed into a small residential neighborhood with Keswick Road being used as the namesake for the new area. A small commercial block, serving the neighborhoods of Keswick, Evergreen and Roland Park emerged at the intersection of West Cold Spring Lane, Schenley Road, and Kittery Lane. Today the area is known for popular local restaurants, Miss Shirley's Cafe, The Evergreen, Alonso's/Loco Hombre, and Roland Park Bagel Company. Between 1974 and 1989, the community of Roland Springs was built on the former Asylum property.
