| The space that now houses Evergreen's Bakst Theatre was originally a gymnasium. It was built for Alice Whitridge and T. Harrison Garrett's three sons who were schooled at home. Located in the North Wing's second floor, it was designed by Charles Carson in 1886. The space was transformed into a theater by Alice Warder and John Work Garrett and today it is the only private theater decorated by Leon Bakst, the famed Russian set and costume designer for the Ballets Russes whom the Garretts met in Paris just before World War I. Mrs. Garrett invited Bakst to Evergreen House in 1922 and the Theatre opened in May of 1923. Bakst stenciled the Theatre's walls and lobby ceiling with Russian peasant motifs. He also designed three stage sets and costumes for Mrs. Garrett to wear when she performed there. Today Evergreen House is the only museum whose collection includes both stage sets designed by Bakst and their preliminary water color drawings. |

Baltimore architect, Laurence Hall Fowler, renovated this room in 1941 for John Work Garrett. Fowler left the flooring in place and redesigned everything else in the room — from the drapery treatment (made of hammered rayon instead of silk because of war rationing) and the raised ceiling, to the installation of the butternut paneling and trim with silver gilding. Both Fowler and Mrs. Garrett agreed that the new drawing room, "was not to be an art gallery, but a pleasant room to sit in with pictures around you." The pictures referred to are Mrs. Garrett's collection of post-Impressionist paintings, including work by Modigliani, Picasso, Utrillo, Vuillard, Bonnard, Degas, Forain, and Derain. A large portrait of Alice Warder Garrett in a white Spanish dress was painted in 1929 by the Spanish artist Ignacio Zuloaga and hangs by the piano. The Chinese blue and white porcelain from T. Harrison Garrett's collection is displayed on the mantel. Photos published with permission of Evergreen House |   |

Shortly after moving into Evergreen House, T. Harrison Garrett began to transform the country house into a spectacular Gilded Age estate. Garrett first turned his attention to the redecoration of the front hall — the place where first impressions would be made. Garrett hired the oldest and most prestigious interior design firm in Baltimore, P. Hanson Hiss & Co., to create a stylish and imposing interior. The Moorish lattice work in the archways was added, as were the oak bench surmounted by a 17th- century Belgian tapestry and the mosaic floor with abstracted feather, ribbon, and shield motifs.

This walnut paneled room was designed by architect Laurence Hall Fowler and built in 1927-'28 to house the Garretts' books. These rare volumes contained in the Garrett Library reflect the interests of both John Work Garrett and his father, T. Harrison Garrett and includes two editions of Audubon's "Birds of North America" — one octavo and the double elephant folio. Other famous natural history books include those by Gould, Catesby, Eliot, and Redoute. The library also contains incunabula (books printed before 1501) and the signatures of all the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Also on view in the library is a Tang Dynasty Camel (617-906 A.D.) and a Persian Mongol Cavalry Man (early 13th century). Over the fireplace hangs a portrait of John Work Garrett by Ignacio Zuloaga painted while Garrett was Ambassador to Italy and living in Rome. Learn more about the Garrett Library here.
