House History

The home of Feed The Scene has historically been a “Music House” and lively gathering spot for all musicians who played in or traveled through Baltimore. Built by John Hiltz, in 1930 Marie Hiltz married Ruffino Iula, a violinist from Little Italy in a ceremony at the house. Mr. Iula, who was known as Feen, and his two brothers spent half a century in the pit orchestras of Baltimore area theaters, as well as preforming at weddings, debutante parties and society dances. One of his brothers was a founding member of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

This home was the center for music in Baltimore in the 1900s - it was said if you didn’t have a Iula playing then you didn’t have a dance. Feed The Scene is proud to continue this tradition of promoting music and supporting both traveling and local bands in Baltimore.
