Bisecting the city from north to south, this street has been known as Charles Street since as early as 1761. With speculations that Charles Street was once a Susquehannock Indian trail, its history even predates that of the city. In 1824 the "first" Washington Monument was erected on Charles Street, 60 years before the Washington Monument in D.C. was completed. Charles Street is also home to a number of Baltimore attractions: the Lyric Opera House, Centerstage and Everyman Theaters, Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus, Sascha's 527, Brewer's Art pub, the Walters Art Museum, and numerous other intriguing places to explore.
