A Conversation with the Past
2025-05-10 14:00 - 17:00 | MD
Ever wonder why Baltimore has so many beautiful buildings and architecturally diverse neighborhoods? In part, it is due to 60 years of the efforts of the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP), in designating sites, buildings, landscapes, and neighborhoods as historic landmarks and districts.
Eric Holcomb, Executive Director of the Baltimore City Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation and author, will give a talk, A Conversation with the Past: Historic Preservation in Baltimore, about the history and role of local historic preservation in the city. This talk will take place at Mount Clare Historic House Museum and will be followed by a garden party. Register to attend this event.
Eric obtained a Liberal Arts degree from St. Mary’s College of Maryland (1988) and a master’s degree in Preservation Studies at Boston University (1992). Between 1986 and 1994, he worked for several restoration companies including Gibbons of Baltimore Church Restoration Company and Tidewater Restoration, Inc. In 1994 he joined the staff of the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP). In 2004 CHAP staff merged with the Department of Planning, and in 2014 he became the Executive Director of CHAP where he has worked to further integrate and coordinate historic preservation into Planning activities. He is the author of City As Suburb: A History of Northeast Baltimore Since 1660. In 2016 he was awarded the Mayor’s Medallion for Meritorious Service and in 2018 the Honorable mention for the 14th annual Richard A. Lidinsky, Sr. award for Excellence in Public Service.
This talk is approved for AIA CES (continuing education) 1.0 LU

Hard Hat Tour - The Hammond, Johnston Square
2025-07-10 17:30 - 19:00 | MD
Register to get a sneak peak at Baltimore’s newest multi-family housing development and Pratt Library location!
The Hammond at Greenmount Park is 109 units of new affordable rental housing currently under construction in the Johnston Square neighborhood of Baltimore. The project is a joint venture development of Somerset Development Company, New Community Partners, and ReBUILD Metro, Inc.
The Hammond is the first of three multifamily buildings that the Somerset team is developing in partnership with the community as outlined in the Johnston Square Vision Plan. The community-led, Baltimore City-approved Johnston Square Vision Plan guides a multi-decade, multi-hundred million dollar inclusive redevelopment effort in Johnston Square that rebuilds the neighborhood while protecting legacy residents.
Designed by Quinn Evans Architects and built by Harkins Builders, the four-story building will have an impressive array of amenities including community meeting space, a fitness center, bicycle storage and rooftop gardening. Of particular note, through an innovative public private partnership with the City of Baltimore, the Project will include a new branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library on the ground floor of the building, opening out onto the new public park being developed along Biddle Street by ReBUILD Metro and the community.
The Project’s all-electric design will achieve the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home standard and the National Green Building Standard Silver designation. The Project also features a 150kW photovoltaic solar array.
Construction began in June 2024 and is anticipated to finish in August 2025.
Please plan to bring your own hard hat for this construction tour. If you do not have one, a limited number will be available to borrow.
