Heritage areas are places to experience - to see, hear, and even taste - the authentic heritage of Maryland in a unique way that you cannot experience anywhere else. Heritage areas are where the stories of the people, the land and the waters of Maryland, which have been intertwined for thousands of years, are told. By preserving these tangible links to both place and the past, residents and visitors are encouraged to recognize that they have a special piece of the American story to treasure and share with others, and that in doing so they create more livable and economically sustainable communities. Now entering its 24th year of operation, the Maryland Heritage Areas Program has enjoyed steady growth, enthusiastic private and public support, and a record of achievement.

  • Preservation Maryland Phoenix: "Modernist Masterpiece in Peril"
    Preservation Maryland ThePhoenix Volume XXIIV, No. 1 Spring 2006 Modernist Masterpiece in Peril The COMSAT Laboratories Building, considered one of world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli’s greatest early works, beautifully expresses his emphasis on modern materials and Modernist forms. It is one of the first “high tech” style buildings in Maryland, and the premier Modern structure in Montgomery County. The Montgomery County Council will decide in the late spring whether this building can be razed for development. Preservationists on a local, county, state and national level are engaged in efforts to save this significant and unique building. Designed in 1969 by Cesar Pelli, the COMSAT building is an important reflection of the spirit of innovation and technology that char- acterized the Interstate 270 Corridor in the second half of the 20th Century. It is closely associated with the spread of the private sector global communications industry and with Montgomery County’s rise to national prominence in the information technology field. Additionally, this building stands as an important early example of the developing work of one of the most influential architects of the post-War era. His other significant works include the new North Terminal at the Ronald Reagan National Airport, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Herring Hall at Rice University. Pelli’s buildings are characterized by a Modernist focus on frame but also demonstrate his commitment to emphasizing the “skin” that serves as a mechanism for the enclosure of space. Pelli designs frequently highlight exterior walls that are constructed of a variety of materials and form a thin, light membrane.
