The Calvert Court Apartments is a historic apartment home in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Located in the Charles Village-Abell Historic District, the building was constructed in 1915. It was incorporated as a residential housing cooperative in 1947.

History
Calvert Court Apartments opened its doors in fall 1915. Edward Hughes Glidden and Clyde Nelson Friz, partnered in the firm Glidden & Friz, were the building's architects. It comprised a red-brick five-building complex with a courtyard, with architecture in an "Italianesque" style, stucco and stone trimmings, and a "Spanish-style roof," all built by John F. Kunkel, with 24 of the 32 units in the complex two stories high each, with floors contained due to a stairway. Until 1947, the building functioned with apartments that tenants could rent. Later, the building would be described as having colonial architectural style elements.

In 1947, Calvert Court Apartments became a residential housing cooperative. They were advertised as on a "joint ownership plan," along with Tudor Arms Apartments, Rochambeau Apartments, and Washington Apartments, the latter at the corner of West Mount Vernon Place and Charles Street. Calvert Court Apartments was also advertised as part of a cooperative purchase plan with Washington and Tudor Arms Apartments. In January 1948, the apartment would be listed, by the Baltimore Sun, as a housing cooperative.
