Baltimore National County where the project will take place: Baltimore City Project Title Restoring Homewood's Palladian North Portico What type of project are you requesting funding for? The following types of activities are eligible to receive MHAA funding: • Capital - Acquisition, Development, Rehabilitation, Restoration, Pre- Development (Construction and Pre-Construction), Trails • Non-Capital - Planning, Research, Interpretation, Exhibits, Digital Resources, Signage, Archeology, Educational Programs, Seminars, Conferences, Performances, Commemorations, Festivals 3/8/2021 3 Capital (MHAA) Project Description Briefly describe your project, including what your end results and products will be. Homewood Museum proposes to restore its early 19th-century portico, located on the north side of the Palladian-style mansion once home to the Charles Carroll Jr. Family as well as many enslaved and indentured laborers. Areas of the portico are currently deteriorating with the potential of damaging its structural integrity if left unaddressed. The north portico serves as one point of access to the museum and is an important architectural feature of what is considered to be one of the region's best surviving examples of Federal period architecture. The scope of the project would include assessment and repointing of its marble treads along with assessment and replacement of damaged areas of wood planks and railings. Finally, damaged areas of the north columns and entablature will be repaired. Benefit to the Heritage Area Briefly discuss how your project will benefit heritage tourism in your local heritage area. Homewood Museum is a National Historic Landmark, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a designated Baltimore City Landmark. Preservation of the museum's architecture, both interior and exterior, is a crucial part of its appeal to heritage tourists and visitors which annually number in the thousands. Museum stakeholders have identified the north portico as a priority capital project and aim to restore it in tandem with the slated restoration of the mansion's original privy lying immediately to its northwest. Features and the grounds on the north side of Homewood (the "back" of the home) particularly speak to the museum's updated narrative which interprets the lives of documented enslaved populations who lived and worked on the original property. Illuminating these difficult histories is a timely and important part of the 21st-century museum-goer's experience. Finally, the museum porticos often serve as focal points/locations of public events. Project Budget 3/8/2021 4 When typing in dollar amounts, only enter numbers. Round the amounts to the nearest dollar. MHAA grant funds requested The minimum amount you can request is $5,000. The maximum amount is $50,000 for non-capital projects and $100,000 for capital projects. 45000.00 Total Matching Funds Expected • Your organization must match MHAA funds dollar-for-dollar, with any combination of cash and in-kind contributions. • This means that if you receive a $5,000 grant, your organization must spend an additional $5,000 on the project using non-state sources of funds. • This match may be "in-kind," meaning it may consist of volunteer hours you plan to spend on the project (currently valued at $29.51 per hour) and the documented value of donated services and materials. • All match must be spent after the grant is awarded. • If you plan to spend additional match, beyond the required dollar-for- dollar match, list the total amount of non-state funds you anticipate spending on the project here. Leveraging more than the required one- to-one match is not a requirement and will not mean that your project is more likely to be funded. 45000.00 Request Type/Status Contributions-Grant-ITA Received Fund State Fund Record Type Organization 3/8/2021 5 Homewood Musuem North Portico Restoration Project Images and Image Captions Photo Credits: • Google Maps view (date unknown): Image 1 • Will Kirk, Homewood Photography (2008 through 2014): Images 4-6; 11-14 • Travers Nelson, JHU Facilities and Real Estate (2019): Images 2-3 • Caroline Jelavich, Homewood Museum Development (Giving) Director: Images 7; 8- 10 • Historical American Building Survey (1936): Image 15 1.
