A Lonesome Tour of Baltimore's Orphaned Row Houses

Photographer Ben Marcin grew up Baltimore and has lived there for decades since, but it wasn't until a few years ago that he began to notice a unique phenomenon in what he dubs the "rougher sections" of town: a single curbside home with no direct neighbors to either side. These multiple-story structures weren't built to stand alone; at one point, the Colonial-era row houses were situated wall-to-wall along most streets in the area.
