Our Historic Property Redevelopment Program is making direct investments in Maryland’s historic places through the restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization of historic structures and the communities in which they reside. This program allows us to protect historic resources through various approaches.
Today, as a result of the generosity of those funders and the support of the Board of Preservation Maryland, the Historic Property Redevelopment Program is engaged in historic rehabilitation projects across the state.
Current Projects
Burtis House in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County
The last remaining waterman’s cottage on Annapolis’ working waterfront, Preservation Maryland is taking a leading role on this dynamic climate resiliency project, overseeing the stabilization and elevation of the historic structure.
Support from the Maryland Heritage Area Authority, the State of Maryland, and the Chesapeake Bay Office of the National Park Service.
Berlin House in Brunswick, Frederick County
Preservation Maryland is partnering with the City of Brunswick to protect and adapt the historic Berlin House (aka Snoots House). In support of this mission, the City’s current plan for the Berlin House envisions adapting the structure into a community heritage venue that will serve as adjunct interpretive space for the Brunswick Heritage Museum.
Ellicott City Jail, Howard County
Preservation Maryland is managing the adaptive reuse of the historic jail as site of Maryland’s future center for preservation.
Rock Run Mill, Harford County
The Maryland Park Service (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) and Preservation Maryland will partner on the project; work will result in restoration of the roof, windows, doors, masonry, and structural components of the late 18th-century mill, as well as site work to protect the foundation from flood damage. Historic Rock Run Mill, a contributing resource to the Lower Deer Creek Valley National Historic District, is located within Susquehanna State Park in Havre De Grace, Maryland.

As part of our ongoing work in the Jonathan Street community in Hagerstown, Preservation Maryland is overseeing stabilization repairs to the Robert W. Johnson Community Center.
