Built in 1896 as a Tudor Revival mansion on the Evergreen estate in Baltimore, this building has served multiple lives over more than a century. Commissioned by Alice Whitridge Garrett, heiress to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad fortune, as a wedding gift for her son Horatio, the residence was designed by the New York firm Renwick, Aspinwall & Renwick and nicknamed "Evergreen junior." After remaining vacant following Horatio's death in 1896, the house was lent to the Red Cross in 1919 before being purchased by the Jesuits in 1921 to serve as Loyola College's relocated campus. Originally used as academic space, it became the Jesuit residence in 1924 and endured significant fire damage in 1955. A major reconstruction and expansion from 1956 to 1958 preceded a comprehensive $6 million renovation completed in 1992, which added 30,000 square feet and transformed it into the Humanities Center, now the oldest building on Loyola University Maryland's campus, housing academic departments, administrative offices, and dining facilities.
