Launching Preservation Maryland's Revolving Fund
Channel: Preservation Maryland
Date: 16/06/2020

Through the organization's innovative property redevelopment program, Preservation Maryland will purchase a severely threatened historic cabin in Hagerstown’s Jonathan Street community – and we’re going to save it, rehabilitate it, and sell it to a deserving new owner. 

417 North Jonathan Street is an historic circa 1830s small log home in the heart of the historic Jonathan Street community of Hagerstown, one of the state’s oldest African American neighborhoods and nearby well-documented Green Book sites.

We’re going to take the proceeds of that sale to save more historic places like it all across our state. We’re not just talking about preservation – we’re rolling up our sleeves and doing it.

Our partners and funders include: The 1772 Foundation, Middendorf Foundation, Rural Maryland Council, Western Maryland Community Development Corporation
