With 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Dearie's resumé includes manager for the 4 star, 4 diamond, international award winning Conservatory Restaurant atop the Peabody Court Hotel and its allied catering business on Mount Vernon Square for 8 years, and Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD, another prestige dining establishment, for 4 years.

A native to Sykesville, Dearie purchased the station in the summer of 1997. He quickly turned the station into a venue to unleash his creative freedom. By hiring Executive Chefs to design the menus and co-oping with Uptown Promotions, Baldwin Station soon became the talk of the town for it's food, service, Wednesday night concert series and newly added Children's Theatre. Busily working away in the old train master's office, atop the station, Dearie barely has time to take in the bird's eye view of the scenic Patapsco River rolling below. As chief of his own promotions, Dearie has quickly wow'd magazines and newspapers afar with the lure of the train station and the revitalization of the sounds of folk and jazz music. As quoted in the Baltimore Sun, 8/98, "I want this place to be an experience, not just a meal".


Born in St. Thomas, raised in Anguilla and a graduate of Western Maryland College, Jenaire's spunk and laughter has been with Stewart and Baldwin's Station since day one. She has been a witness to and an integral part of Baldwin's growth and success.

"It's so much more than just a restaurant" says Jenaire, referring to the Wednesday night concert series, children's theatre and wine tasting events, "Things are constantly moving and changing". One can find Jenaire operating a well planned wedding party or corporate meeting as Event Coordinator for parties of 20 to 250 or as Manager overseeing the staff on a busy Friday night or active lunch shift.
