Neighborhood
Allendale
Allendale’s porch-front rowhouses sit alongside New Cathedral Cemetery and share library resources with the wider Edmondson Avenue area.
Allendale is a southwest Baltimore City neighborhood adjoining Edgewood, Lower Edmondson Village, Uplands, Saint Josephs and other nearby communities. Live Baltimore describes larger rowhouses with front porches and small front yards. It also identifies New Cathedral Cemetery as a substantial part of the neighborhood, with residential streets to the east.
New Cathedral Cemetery, founded in 1871 and operated by the Archdiocese of Baltimore, lists its address as 4300 Old Frederick Road. Its monuments and burial history are local landmarks, but the grounds remain an active cemetery. Arrange a family-history visit through its own visitor information and keep memorial services and mourners in mind.
For an ordinary indoor errand, the Pratt branch at 4330 Edmondson Avenue explicitly includes Allendale in its service area. It provides computers and printing alongside the lending collection.
