Beginning in 1954, a group called the "Committee for Downtown" promoted a master plan for arresting the commercial decline of central Baltimore. In 1955, the "Greater Baltimore Committee", headed by banker and developer James W. Rouse, joined the effort. A plan was developed by noted American urban planner and architect David A. Wallace, (1917−2004), strongly supported by Mayors Thomas L. J. D'Alesandro, Jr. (1947−1959) and Theodore R. McKeldin, (1943−1947 and 1963−1967) and many in their administrations, which formed the basis of a $25 million bond issue voted on by the citizens of Baltimore City in during the municipal elections in November 1958. The architects' view of the overall Charles Center Redevelopment Plan with the conceptions of possible buildings, lay-out and plan that was publicized to the voters that spring and summer before, only slightly resembles the actual buildings and designs that later were really constructed by the mid-1970s.{{cite book|last=Dorsey|first=John|author2=Dilts, James D.|title=A Guide to Baltimore Architecture|publisher=Tidewater Publishes|location=Centreville, Maryland|year=1981|edition=Second|pages=50–53|isbn=0-87033-272-4}} {{Baltimore neighborhoods}} 3 : Buildings and structures in Baltimore|Downtown Baltimore|RTKL Associates buildings |
