Maryland Preservation Awards: James E. Hooper House

May 7th, 2026 3:00 pm

This award for Excellence in Rehabilitation will be presented for work done at the James E. Hooper House.

Following a devastating 2022 fire, federal historic tax credits helped save the 1886 Queen Anne-style James E. Hooper House, an irreplaceable piece of Baltimore’s Old Goucher neighborhood. Today, the building has been reimagined as a dynamic springboard for the creative economy, housing seventeen small businesses, makers, and cultural organizations. The high-standard rehabilitation proves that preserving architectural integrity is a direct investment in the local workforce, providing the infrastructure and inspiration for artists and entrepreneurs to thrive.
