his publication chronicles 75 years of remarkable achievement by an organization well known for its outstanding leadership in preserving Tthe heritage of one of America’s first colonies and oldest states. These pages are a powerful testament to the work of scores of men and women who have given time, expertise, and financial support in ways large and small, always with the goal of saving Maryland’s heritage for future generations. 75 Years with Preservation Maryland will strengthen and enlarge Preservation Maryland’s presence, informing readers and reminding many how this dynamic organization touches the lives of individuals and communities across the state. The achievements of Preservation Maryland are the results of a collaboration of a broad partnership of individuals, community and statewide organizations, and other supporters, all of whom come together under Preservation Maryland’s banner. In the forefront of this coalition stands the National Trust for Historic Preservation whose foundations can be traced in part to the earliest efforts of Preservation Maryland, the nation’s third-oldest statewide historic preservation organization. In 2001, the National Trust for Historic Preservation bestowed on Preservation Maryland the Trustees Award for Organizational Excellence. (Photo: National Trust for Historic Preservation) For nearly 60 years, Preservation Maryland has been a steadfast partner. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure to work closely with this organization. For those unfamiliar with the Preservation Maryland story, this is an excellent introduction. Even longtime supporters will find some surprises in this impressive record of achievement. You will see that much of the organization’s history reflects the goals and strategies of the preservation movement in America, and its current strategies are on the cutting edge of our combined national efforts. The next years will be crucial to the future of Maryland’s heritage as time, disinvestment, sprawl, and unwise development threaten both urban and rural historic sites and landscapes. To face these challenges, Preservation Maryland

1 saving the past, shaping the future will need to enlist an even wider array of stakeholders and educate the next generation of dedicated preservationists. It is my hope that all who read this will be inspired to rededicate themselves to the mission of Preservation Maryland or to assume an active role in preserving Maryland’s heritage.

AMERICA’S THIRD OLDEST STATEWIDE Preservation Maryland Today HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORGANIZATION

hroughout Maryland the positive influence of historic preservation is inescapable. From Garrett County to Worcester County, and places Tin between, preservation is making communities more engaging and livable. Handsome and historic houses have been restored. New uses are being found for significant commercial and industrial buildings that might otherwise have been demolished. A sophisticated set of technical, financial, and communication tools have been developed to advance preservation. Without a doubt, historic preservation is now a major economic, aesthetic, and educational force in the state. For 75 years, Preservation Maryland has been the catalyst and leader in protecting and preserving our state’s four centuries of architectural history. For this leadership, Preservation Maryland has received national recognition for saving individual sites and revitalizing historic neighborhoods and commercial districts. Partnerships with local preservation groups throughout the state have helped make heritage tourism a multi-billion dollar a year industry in Maryland. Visiting historic sites and museums is one of the top three activities for visitors to the state. Maryland’s rich and varied architectural styles have been a magnet for the film industry. The efforts of Preservation Maryland members over the years have contributed to an appreciation of Maryland’s history, unique sense of place, and quality of life. top: The first offices of Preservation Maryland were in the Maryland Historical Society’s Advocacy, Outreach, and Funding Pratt House at 201 West Monument Street in Baltimore.

Those grants are for emergency repairs, legal fees, interpretive programs, and many other important preservation projects. Thanks to state and foundation support, Preservation Maryland has awarded more than $2 million through its grant programs. The Preservation Colleagues program provides organizational development and technical assistance to local heritage organizations. The annual Endangered Maryland list highlights those buildings and neighborhoods in particular peril while the sponsorship of workshops and lectures furthers public awareness of historic preservation issues. The organization works with public officials, builds coalitions, and uses advocacy alerts to advance preservation policies and funding. For nearly 30 years, Preservation Maryland has published The Phoenix newsletter. A highlight of each year is the Preservation and Revitalization Conference. It provides a chance to learn from top experts about the latest developments in the preservation field and is a major gathering of preservationists throughout the state. Annual awards are made to those responsible for outstanding preservation activity.

To reflect this change in direction, the organization’s working name was shortened to Preservation Maryland in the early 1980s. That Preservation Maryland has grown in stature and effectiveness over our 75-year history is no small accomplishment—a time to reflect, appreciate, and celebrate.

FOUNDING OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE The Early Years: PRESERVATION OF MARYLAND ANTIQUITIES Commemorating George Washington

he early 1930s witnessed a lively and active interest in Maryland history. Commissions were formed to celebrate the Maryland T Tercentenary (1929-34), the Lafayette Sesquicentennial (1931), and the George Washington Bicentennial (1931-32). The George Washington Bicentennial Commission’s goal was to honor Washington’s 200th birthday by marking and preserving 90 Maryland sites that he visited. As an outgrowth of this interest and activity on the part of several influential Marylanders, the Society for the Preservation of Maryland Antiquities (SPMA) was founded in 1931. The original aims of the SPMA were acquisition, restoration, preservation, and marking of

George Washington was known to have visited the house in 1786 when Smallwood was Maryland’s governor. As part of its early outreach efforts, the society conducted tours of the General Smallwood house. And on July 4, 1933, the society held an “Independence Day Pilgrimage” to Revolutionary sites located in Baltimore and Harford counties. In 1934, however, the last general meeting of the SPMA took place until its revival and reorganization after World War II.

PIONEERS IN THE NATIONAL HISTORIC Hampton: SPMA Renewed PRESERVATION MOVEMENT

n January 14, 1947, the first general meeting of the SPMA since 1934 was held at the Maryland Historical Society headquarters. In that Oyear, the SPMA became involved with Hampton, a project that led to significant membership growth, national recognition, and financial support of the organization. Located near Towson in Baltimore County, Hampton was the Ridgely family estate, which comprised a large Georgian mansion, built between 1783 and 1790, with formal gardens and a farm complex with surviving slave quarters.

“Ridgely’s Folly” Hampton’s first owner, Captain Charles Ridgely (1733-1790), continued and expanded a family business in iron implements, arms, and ammunition, supporting the patriots during the Revolutionary War. His merchant fleet helped to establish Baltimore as a major port. Known as “The Builder,” he died soon after the mansion was completed. Generations of Ridgelys filled the mansion’s grand and lavish rooms with paintings and furnishings that reflected the family’s status. The set of Baltimore- made painted furniture displayed today in the drawing room, purchased in 1832 by John and Eliza Ridgely, shows the classical influence, as do many other chairs, tables, sofas, and decorative items. On the south side, Italianate gardens were set on terraced earthworks and top: The drawing room of Hampton displays original pieces of the Ridgley’s furniture. an English-style landscaped park graced the north side. In 1859, horticulturist Henry Winthrop Sargent mused that Hampton’s “venerable appearance” and bottom: Hampton’s portico was partially obscured before restoration. “foreign air…quite disturb one’s ideas of republican America.” Hampton was also one of the largest slave plantations in Maryland.

While Hampton’s second master, Charles Carnan Ridgely (1760-1829), freed his slaves before his death, the era of forced servitude at Hampton remained until Maryland state law ended the practice in 1864, in the midst of the Civil War.

Hampton, the National Park Service, and the SPMA John Ridgely, Jr., who inherited Hampton in 1938, faced the dismal prospect of selling the house and grounds after World War II. However, at the suggestion and with the help of David E. Finley, first director of the National Gallery of Art, Newton G. Drury, first director of the National Park Service, and Ronald F. Lee, chief historian of the Park Service, he was able to sell Hampton to the Avalon Foundation (a Mellon Family Foundation). The foundation in turn gave the property to the National Park Service. It was officially designated a National Historic Site on June 22, 1948. Hampton was the first building accepted by the National Park Service based on architectural merit. At this time, SPMA leaders became interested in the wider possibilities of historic preservation. SPMA president Robert Garrett and SPMA director H. Alexander Smith participated in an organizational meeting for the creation of the National Council of Historic Sites and Buildings. The National Council for Historic Sites and Buildings was chartered in June 1947, and the SPMA was one of the sponsoring organizations.

A Long, Successful Collaboration Since 1947, the SPMA had maintained Hampton and kept the house and gardens open to the public. Hampton was officially dedicated as a National Historic Site on April 30, 1950. This date is highly significant for the preservation movement at the national and local levels. The cooperative agreement between the SPMA and the National Park Service demonstrated that the public and private sectors could find effective ways to work together in saving significant properties. From then until 1979, the SPMA acted as the custodian of Hampton. In that year, the National Park Service assumed full administrative responsibility for the site.

Stewards of Wye House Farm EARLY USE OF THE PRESERVATION EASEMENT

ye House Farm has been in the Lloyd family for 11 generations. The variety of farm and domestic structures on the property Wrepresents one of the most significant collections of 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century buildings in Maryland. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass lived as a slave on the property for two years in the late 1820s. The present owner, Mrs. Mary Donnell Tilghman, received Preservation Maryland’s inaugural Stewardship Award in 2006.

Three Centuries of Lloyd Gravesites Preserved The cemetery on the property is regarded as one of the oldest and most well- preserved family graveyards in America. Eleven generations of the Lloyd family are buried there, and the earliest grave is dated 1684. By 1952, it was apparent that the cemetery needed care and attention, and the property’s then-owners, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan B. Schiller, agreed that it would serve both educational and preservation ends to allow the SPMA to maintain the cemetery.

Easement Assured Authentic Orangery Restoration In 1979, Mrs. Schiller approached the SPMA board about restoring the orangery. Mrs. Schiller granted the SPMA an architectural easement on the orangery, which was added to the perpetual custodian fund for the cemetery. In 1981, restoration architects Bryden B.

RARE, EARLY TIDEWATER MARYLAND Sotterley: A National Historic PLANTATION Landmark Preserved

ocated on the banks of the Patuxent River, 95-acre Sotterley Plantation is older than Mount Vernon and Monticello. The early 18th-century L manor house features “post-in-ground” construction, a technique once common in the Tidewater area. When Sotterley’s first owner, James Bowles, son of a wealthy London tobacco merchant and member of Maryland’s lower house of the assembly, died, his young widow, Rebecca, married George Plater II. The Plater family, particularly George Plater III, sixth governor of Maryland, continued to refine and embellish the house. George Washington is said to have greatly admired the house and may have used it as a model for Mount Vernon. There are numerous outbuildings on the property, including a rare surviving log slave cabin. Sotterley was the site of one of the largest communities of enslaved African-Americans in Southern Maryland. In 1910, Herbert L. Satterlee and his wife Louisa, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, purchased Sotterley and extensively restored the house and grounds to their 18th-century condition. Their daughter, Mabel Satterlee Ingalls, purchased Sotterley in 1947. Seeking the best way to manage the property, in 1953 she turned to the SPMA. Under an agreement, the SPMA managed the manor house and opened it to the public annually from June to September. In 1961, Mrs. Ingalls deeded the property to the Sotterley Mansion Foundation, and in 1964, the operation and care of the house was placed in its hands. top: Sotterley’s porch overlooks the Today, Sotterley is the only historic Tidewater plantation in Maryland Patuxent River in St. Mary’s County. that is open to the public and offers a lively mix of educational programs bottom: The slave quarters at Sotterley and visitor activities. have been interpreted for visitors.

WHEELS TURN AGAIN AT THE STATE’S Wye Mill: Vestige of the OLDEST WORKING MILL Industrial Revolution

ts involvement with Wye Mill led the SPMA into “living history.” Living history sites are those restored as accurately as possible to provide a Irealistic representation of how ordinary people lived and worked during a particular period. A grist mill has operated on the Wye Mill site in Queen Anne’s County since 1682. The current mill, built in the mid-1700s, is the oldest working mill in Maryland. During the Revolutionary War, the mill played the important role of producing flour for Washington’s army. One of the mill’s notable owners was Oliver Evans, sometimes called the “Father of the Modern Factory.” In the 1790s he developed many of the revolutionary automation concepts that would later transform American factories. The mill remained in commer- cial production until 1950. In 1953, the mill and 64 acres were purchased by the Maryland Game and Inland Fish Commission. The commission planned to use the mill pond and surrounding property for a large public fishing area and sought an organization willing to restore and operate the mill as an educational program. In 1956, the State of Maryland formally deeded Wye Mill and one acre of land to the SPMA; in 1958, a qualified miller, Thomas S. Sewell of Easton, top: The mill is restored to its original operating condition. was found to oversee the rehabilitation of the mill machinery. In 1971, Chesapeake College’s librarian, John O.

Rodgers Tavern: Along the Road WITNESS TO THE FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY to Democracy

odgers Tavern dates from 1745 and is situated in Perryville in Cecil County along the Susquehanna River. George Washington’s diaries R show that he stayed there several times, before, during, and after the Revolutionary War. He brought officers and troops through the Lower Ferry Crossing on his way to his victorious campaign against Cornwallis at Yorktown. Other important visitors were Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. During the war, Lafayette visited the tavern, as did the French general Rochambeau. In 1780, the tavern was operated by John Rodgers, the father of Commodore John Rodgers, considered to be the founder of the American Navy. As the industrial revolution unfolded and railroads made the small river ferries obsolete, Rodgers Tavern gradually deteriorated. In 1955, there was concern over the Pennsylvania Railroad’s contemplated demolition of the tavern, which it then owned. To save the building, 14 local civic and patriotic organizations united to form the Friends of Rodgers Tavern, which in turn persuaded the SPMA to buy the tavern from the railroad in 1957. Restoration work on Rodgers Tavern began in 1962 and after a decade- long delay, resumed in the 1970s and continued through the 1980s. In 1993, as part of Preservation Maryland’s plan to divest itself of its properties, ownership of Rodgers Tavern was transferred to the Town of Perryville.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR HERO JOHN EAGER Waverly: Legacy of Early Governors HOWARD’S HOME FACED RUIN

averly is a historically significant 18th-century plantation house in Howard County, built by Nathan Dorsey between 1756 and W1764. In 1786, the estate’s ownership passed to the family of John Eager Howard, Revolutionary War hero and Maryland governor. He gave the property to his son George, who also served as governor. By the 1970s, Waverly had deteriorated badly through years of neglect and vandalism. In 1975, the Larry Realty Company donated Waverly to the SPMA, thus initiating a complex series of events that called for significant political skills. Thanks to the dedicated advocacy of state legislators from Howard County, prompted by SPMA members, $150,000 in restoration funding was provided by the General Assembly of Maryland in 1976 which prompted several private donations. In 1978, the SPMA obtained a federal matching grant of $150,000 for the ambitious restoration project. The next year, work began on structural stabilization, total exterior restoration, and restoration of a portion of the wing. The Maryland Historical Trust contributed $32,000 for additional work, which was completed in June 1981. In 1989, Waverly and all of its furnishings were turned over to Howard County, which continues to use the restored building for educational programs and social events.

Forging State Preservation Policy STATEWIDE PARTNERSHIP IN PRESERVATION

n the late 1950s, the SPMA began to become more involved in statewide preservation advocacy. Outreach efforts with legislators and policy I makers were stepped up, as were communications with SPMA members. Another important objective became broadening board membership to include representation from all the regions of Maryland, a policy that continues to this day. During this time, the SPMA also aimed to establish itself as a source of architectural expertise for preservation groups around the state. The new Watchdog Committee would alert members about buildings threatened with demolition. In 1959, the SPMA made its first financial grant to another preservation organization, Historic Annapolis. This $3,000 grant was critical to funding the research and documentation necessary for downtown Annapolis to obtain historic district status—the foundation for all of the capital city’s preservation actions since then. During the 1960s, Annapolis was a national center of preservation, and SPMA members and leadership became more active in advocating high-profile preservation efforts such as saving and restoring the William Paca House, home of one of Maryland’s signers of the Declaration of Independence. In 1966, the SPMA joined forces with Baltimore’s newly formed Society

The SPMA and the Creation of the Maryland Historical Trust In early 1959, following a SPMA discussion on the need for state-funded preservation programs, board member John E. Clark contacted State Senator William S. James to recommend a study on the feasibility of forming a state agency for preservation. Senator James introduced the resolution into the legislature, and, not long after, Governor J. Millard Tawes appointed a commission to study the possibility of a governmental corporation for preservation. John E. Clark was appointed to the commission as were SPMA board members Henry Chandlee Forman, Bryden B. Hyde, Worthington Pearre, G. Van Velsor Wolf, and SPMA president Elizabeth Douglas Williams. The commission issued a report in 1960, calling for a quasi-public corporation for historic preservation. The resulting bill, creating the Maryland Historical Trust, was passed in 1961, five years before passage of the National Historic Preservation Act that established State Historic Preservation Officers top: Mrs. Charles W.

Major Changes in Financing Preservation To raise awareness of the value of preservation statewide, in 1979, the SPMA established the Annual Commendation Awards for successful restoration and adaptive use of historic buildings. It was during this period that the SPMA began using sophisticated preservation techniques such as a revolving fund and successfully raising money from public and private sources. The revolving fund’s first loan was to Preservation, Inc., of Chestertown in 1979. The $5,000 loan enabled the group to complete the preservation of the Buck-Bacchus Store, circa 1730, in Chestertown. The revolving fund proved to be a highly effective tool in helping nonprofit preservation and community groups restore top: Preservation Maryland worked with other organizations and agencies to make endangered historic properties for new uses or for re-sale. possible the restoration of Kent County’s Another important collaborative effort in this period involved Godlington Godlington Manor.

Catalyst for Redevelopment PRESERVATION AND QUALITY OF LIFE

rom Frederick’s downtown historic district to Baltimore’s West Side to the historic Easton Armory, the Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax FCredit has proven to be the most powerful catalyst for broad-based redevelopment. It was Preservation Maryland which spearheaded the creation of Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax Credits in 1997 that have led to the investment of more than $1 billion in rehabilitating historic buildings. The tax credits create jobs, bring retail activity back to vacant buildings, and expand new streams of tax revenue.

Preservation Maryland and the Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax Credit The Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax Credit program provides Maryland income tax credits equal to 20 percent of the qualified capital costs expended in the rehabilitation of a “certified” residential or commercial heritage structure.

Reviving the West Side Baltimore’s West Side is a model for preservation-based revitalization on a larger scale. In 1998, the West Side Master Plan called for demolition of 150 historic buildings, with potentially disastrous consequences for local businesses and the surrounding community. The area was named one of America’s most endangered places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. To prevent this looming catastrophe, Preservation Maryland joined with Baltimore Heritage in a campaign to show how much more valuable preservation-based revitalization could be. First, the two preservation organizations developed an alternative proposal highlighting the benefits of federal and state tax credits. Next, coalitions and grass-roots support were developed for the preservation approach. This led to a National Register for Historic Places designation for the West Side. The results have been stunning. With the Hippodrome Theatre as the centerpiece, the neighborhood has attracted major investment, including Bank of America’s CenterPoint project—the largest of its kind in the financial services giant’s portfolio. Today, Baltimore’s West Side is coming back. Historic buildings have new life. The community is growing, and current and committed projects exceed $1 billion. Baltimore can now boast of the largest redevelopment effort of this type in the nation. Aware of the power of tax credits, Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust created the Historic Communities Investment Fund (HCIF), with important support from the Baltimore-based Abell Foundation. This fund provides resources to help communities nominate districts to the National top: The interior of the Hippodrome has Register of Historic Places. Once these districts are successfully registered, they been restored to its former glory and now are eligible for Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax Credits, thus attracting hosts theatrical productions and concerts. revitalization funding. From 2000 to 2005, HCIF funded nominations of 34 bottom: The theatre is a centerpiece of the National Register Historic Districts, 17 of which were in Baltimore City.

Aligning Historic Preservation PRESERVATION BENEFITS THE ENVIRONMENT and Environmental Conservation

istoric preservation is an automatic commitment to the environment. Environmental policies and programs—saving farmland, preserving Hwetlands, keeping forests and open space, reducing solid waste disposal, reducing automobile emissions, increasing pedestrian traffic—are more effective if they are complemented by realistic historic preservation policies. Increasingly, saving older structures requires adapting them for new uses. Recycling is at the heart of environmentalism, and in this sense, historic preservation is the ultimate recycling.

The list of preservation’s environmental benefits is long and compelling: • When a vacant townhouse is restored, a new house need not be built in a cornfield. • When an obsolete warehouse is converted into loft apartments, one less farm is turned into a housing development. • When a historic building is saved, tons of construction debris do not go to the local landfill. • When county officials deny approval to one more peripheral shopping center, the historic downtown’s chance of survival is increased. • When an existing neighborhood is revitalized instead of razed, water lines, top: Rehabilitating historic structures, such sewer lines, roads, curbs, gutters, fire stations, treatment plants, schools, as those in Baltimore’s Reservoir Hill, benefits streetlights, sidewalks, overpasses, and police stations don’t have to be the environment as well as the community.

Over the years, Preservation Maryland has worked effectively on many fronts to advance environmental protection goals. During the last decade, the organization has supported Maryland’s nationally recognized Smart Growth initiatives. In 1999, Preservation Maryland published a landmark study, The Value of Historic Preservation in Maryland. Members worked hard to help pass state legislation such as the Maryland Rehabilitation Code and the Model and Guidelines for Infill Development and Smart Neighborhoods. In 2004, the National Trust for Historic Preservation included Southern Maryland’s unique tobacco barns on its list of 11 Most Endangered Places. Preservation Maryland joined the National Trust, the Maryland Historical Trust, county governments, heritage tourism organizations, and farm organizations to preserve tobacco barns across the five-county region. The barns represent Maryland’s legacy of tobacco farming and rural lifestyle. With the rapid decline of tobacco farming and growth of development, the barns are threatened by neglect and demolition. The coalition produced a report and convened a meeting to assess threats, suggest potential new agricultural uses for the barns and surrounding land, and identify heritage tourism implications and potential preservation solutions. The resulting strategies included developing a grant program, creating a how-to guide for tobacco barn conservation and adaptive uses, and establishing top: Air-Curing Tobacco (Photo by an information clearinghouse.

The Maryland tobacco barns, unique agricultural structures, is occuring through a Historical Trust has also committed $60,000 in grant funding to the project. collaborative program. To date, 27 of the state’s unique agricultural structures have received funds from this program. The attention brought to rural buildings by the tobacco barns initiative contributed to a bill passed by the state legislature and signed by Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., that will provide up to $300,000 annually for barn and outbuilding preservation across Maryland. Preservation Maryland was instrumental in the bill’s passage.

31 saving the past, shaping the future

Preservation Maryland members have always responded to the call to help preserve threatened historic buildings situated in open space landscapes such as Blandair Farm in Columbia, the Tome School in Port Deposit, the Masonic Temple in Baltimore City, the COMSAT laboratories in Clarksburg, and many others. Working with partners, the organization created successful preservation strategies for National Park Seminary at Forest Glen in Montgomery County and Fort Howard Veteran’s Hospital in Baltimore County. In each case, saving the buildings meant preserving the undeveloped land around them. In 2001, the National Trust for Historic Preservation gave its Trustees Award for Excellence to Preservation Maryland. In 2003, Preservation Maryland received the Maryland Association for Nonprofit Organizations’ Standards for Excellence Certification, one of 60 to have earned this distinction from among 1,800 nonprofits in the state.

Looking Ahead FUTURE CHALLENGES

aryland’s preservation movement will have no shortage of challenges and obstacles to meet and overcome. Preservation Maryland must Mcontinue to make the case for the value of preservation with all the energy and creativity possible. There will be a continued need to refine— and defend—the types of sophisticated financial and tax strategies that have been so successful in reviving Baltimore’s West Side and in smaller communities throughout the state. The organization must continue to skillfully use a variety of communication channels to inform and involve its membership and partners at the federal, state, and local levels. However, it is undeniable that preservation in its many variations is a powerful solution to so many problems that erode our quality of life: traffic congestion, energy shortages, urban sprawl, and even the bland sameness and inappropriate scale of so much contemporary development. Despite that, losses of historic resources occur every year—some through neglect, others through lack of vision or willingness to adopt a preservation solution. Preservation connects us to our past and to a range of charming and authentic architectural styles that remain appealing after decades or centuries. Preservation can be the key to livable communities and commercial centers with a human scale. Built on the foundation of 75 years of experience and success, Preservation Maryland is poised and able to continue to lead the way forward. top: The demolition of Baltimore’s Rochambeau Apartments was widely opposed.
