Upton, also known as the David Stewart Residence or Dammann Mansion, is a historic home located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a large brick Greek Revival mansion constructed about 1838 as the country residence of David Stewart (1800-1858), a prominent Baltimore attorney and politician. It is stories high on a raised basement, three bays wide and two rooms deep, with a center-passage plan. In the late 1950s, a brick stair tower was constructed when the building was adapted for public school use.[1] After many years as a school for exceptional children, in 1977 the Upton Mansion housed the offices for the Home and Hospital Services (school #303) of the Baltimore City Public Schools and continued through 2006.[2] In February 2023, a Federal Grant with over $2,2 million was announced to help create this property as the headquarters of Afro Newspaper, an African American owned paper published in Baltimore since 1892. Afro Charities is the awardee of the grant which will also help to digitize thousands of images and copies of the newspaper; https://www.wbaltv.com/article/the-afro-american-newspaper-archives-history-preservation-upton-mansion/42866107
