Five Minute Histories: Hansa House

A WWI German spy ring in downtown Baltimore? Tune in to today’s Five Minute Histories episode on Hansa House to learn about espionage, explosions and a building that stands out. And for a bonus, we have a special guest joining us for this video! Thanks for watching and we will be back later this week.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Twice a week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website.

Curious as to why we can't see the inside of the building.
