Take a solution of 1 part liquid fabric softener and 3 parts water, put it in a spray bottle and spray it on the walls. You can scrape the paper off with a plastic scraper.

There are only 2 kinds of Baltimore row home, as far as I've seen. 1 room wide, 4 rooms deep where all the bedrooms open into each other and the other one, where the living room is the whole width of the house and the kitchen and dining room are half. Neither one has a workable kitchen. What part of Baltimore are you looking at?
