Coverage[]
The Superintendent's House - referred to as "Crumbling house in Baltimore's Druid Hill Park" in the documentary - is briefly featured in the documentary as a minor exploration.
It is explored in 40 years after people to inspect the fate of stone structures with the Superintendent's House as an example, stating to be once home to the caretaker of the city zoo. Kevin Harrison states that the building looks abandoned for more than a hundred years, but in reality, people have bene living in the building until 40 years ago. He continues that he is amazed on how quickly the vegetation has reclaimed the area with the vines starting to climb up the walls and trees growing into the structure which lead to both physically pulling the structure apart and chemically dissolving it.
