Fans of American Jazz Greats, Blanche and Cab Calloway, Petition to Save their Childhood Home in Baltimore from Demolition Fans and Family seek to preserve the home of internationally renowned American jazz singer/songwriter Cab Calloway, whose childhood residence sits just two blocks outside the designated Arts and Entertainment District. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND​— Any day after July 1, 2019, the childhood home of two legendary American Jazz icons, Blanche and Cab Calloway—is slated for demolition. Fans and friends are rallying to save their childhood home, located in the Druid Heights community of West Baltimore, and convert it into a National Historic Landmark. The home is located two blocks from Baltimore’s famed Pennsylvania Ave (“The Ave”) where young Calloway and his sister spent evenings and weekends feeding their passion for jazz. Unfortunately, the Calloway home sits just outside of the official Black Arts and Entertainment District. Music lovers, history buffs and preservationist Less
