Old Goucher College Buildings is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is an approximate 18-block area in the middle of Baltimore which developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The neighborhood is characterized generally by two- and three-story brick row houses constructed mostly in the 19th century and several large-scale institutional and commercial buildings dating from both centuries. Stylistically, the area is characterized primarily by Italianate, Romanesque, Colonial Revival, and Art Deco influences.
The area once served as a campus for the Women's College of Baltimore, now Goucher College, until the school relocated to Towson. The school was named for clergyman John Goucher, who once served as a pastor at Lovely Lane Church.[2]

The district includes a series of large scale, multiple story brick and stone structures built for college. Three buildings designed by the nationally famous architect Stanford White are found here.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] The former main campus building has been converted into the Baltimore Lab School, and many of the other structures have been re-purposed for commercial and residential use. The site has been the focus of a number of preservation efforts by local advocacy groups.[4][5]
