The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House and 1812 Museum are technically owned by the City of Baltimore. The City purchased the historic house and surrounding property in 1927 and gave it to the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House Association to operate. They pay for maintenence of the house, such as heating, electricity and repairs, but our non-profit organization pays for the other bills. I hope this helps.
