Golden and blue hour in Baltimore: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Baltimore (39.2904, -76.6122) and the America/New_York timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 35 minutes in March and 42 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 06:20 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 05:40.
After sunset, Baltimore still offers the blue hour: from 20:55 to 21:08 in June (13 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.

To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
