BALTIMORE — When the coor
dinator of Baltimore’s shopsteading
program looks at a row of tired
three-story brick buildings along
West Baltimore Street, she
envisions something else: An ice
cream shop here, a beauty shop
there, a doctor’s office, a picture
framing shop, an Oriental gift shop
— even a pottery shop with a kiln in
back.
To Kathleen C. Deasy, it is a
bustling urban village with shop
keepers living above their stores as
they did at the turn of the century.
“Were providing a way for the
small business person to get started
in a very supportive atmosphere,
she said.
In December 1977, Baltimore
began a “shopsteading” project. It is
patterned after the city’s successful
homesteading program, which al
lows prospective homeowners to
buy vacant city-owned houses for $1
if they promise to renovate and live
in them.
Under shopsteading, stores in
buildings the city acquired through
tax sales or block grant money are
available for $100 in several once-
thriving commercial districts.
Merchants must agree to reno
vate their property, bring it up to
building code requirements, and
operate a business for at least two
years before it can be sold privately.
The city offers shopsteaders low-
interest, long-term rehabilitation
loans and free commercial counsel
ing to help them take advantage of
tax breaks and other loan programs.
The city benefits because
neighborhoods are upgraded, 40
buildings that have been vacant for
years go back on the tax rolls and
small business gets a boost.
Baltimore offers shopsteaders 7
percent, 20-year loans, which are
supported by bond issues. It will
lend them KK) percent of the cost of
renovation, if the appraised value of
their rehabilitated property is 120
percent of that cost.
Most shopsteaders borrow about
$65,000, Deasy said. Renovation
costs average about $25,000 per
floor.
“We find the people getting into
this are real pioneers. The pioneers
are no longer in the West; they’re in
downtown Baltimore,” Deasy said.
She led a group of prospective
shopsteaders through the West Bal
timore Street neighborhood known
as Union Square, one of the areas
where the shopsteading program
applies.
Many of the buildings need ex
tensive interior work and some have
to be gutted before renovation can
begin. But even those without frills
like salvageable tin ceilings or
woodwork are considered real bar
gains by the shopsteaders.
“It would be virtually impossible
to buy a piece of property down
there (without the shopsteading
program), said William R. Bull, 31,
who plans to open a unisex beauty
salon on West Baltimore street.
Bull, who will move his family
into an apartment over his shop, ex
pects to be open for business by
summer. His renovation will cost
about $68,000.
“I believe the city’s going to come
hack up,” said Bull, whogr e ,
Baltimore. “It just seemed
golden opportunity.”
