HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMITTEE Archives

The HRC was formed earlier this year with the goal of being an educational resource for the AIA community about issues pertaining to historic resources. Our focus has been on the creation of a technical database and on facilitating programs and events which focus directly on current rehabilitation and restoration projects at local historic sites. We are also looking into establishing liaisons between the professional AIA community and local college and university preservation programs.

Saturday, January 29, 2005 Locust Point Silos Join the HRC in visiting this fascinating project, which attempts to give new life to an abandoned early 20th century grain silo. Located in Locust Point, the grain silos, a towering presence in the fabric of Baltimore’s industrial waterfront, are being converted to residential use. The project developers are pursuing historic tax credits, which may limit the degree of change which might occur to the structures. Selective demolition is currently underway, so our program affords the opportunity to see this project in its early stages.
