Lot Description  

Late 1953 photograph showing the construction and renovation of Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for the upcoming season when Baseball was set to return to the storied city. Interesting image which looks great and shows the stadium half completed but full of fans. Full paper caption and issued by the United Press. Condition and quality make this a stunning image. They would never let people in a construction site like this today!
