Confederate soldiers built a barricaded across Baltimore Street at the intersection of Breckenridge Street to gain an advantage over the Union soldiers.

The Confederate sharpshooters went neck and neck with the union soldiers that were stationed on Cemetery hill. Many of the residents hid in their cellars to protect themselves from the barrage of bullets. Many of the building remain intact and have several bullet holes to this day.
