Wyman Park Gatehouse
The Wyman Park Gatehouse (Map) is located at the corner of N. Charles Street and Art Museum Drive. The Gatehouse once marked the entrance to the Wyman Estate, a vast rural tract of land north of the city. Samuel Wyman purchased the Homewood property from Charles Carroll of Carrollton’s grandson in 1839. The Wyman family owned the land until 1902 when they presented it to Johns Hopkins University. Part of the land was preserved as a city park named in their honor. In 1965 the Johns Hopkins News-Letter moved their headquarters into the gatehouse.
