Historic Rehab Tax Credit Workshop on Pennsylvania Avenue

Do you own an old rowhouse? If you are located in a historic district, you might be one of thousands of Baltimore home-owners eligible for the Maryland Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program which can provide a substantial tax incentive for maintenance or rehab work on your historic home. If you can spend a minimum of $5,000 in a two-year period, approved applicants receive a 20% refundable income tax credit on the cost of your maintenance or home-improvement project. Learn more about historic tax credits with our detailed guide to city, state and federal programs.

Behind the Scenes Tour of Ships Out of Water

This winter, the USS Constellation and USS Submarine Torsk were towed from the Inner Harbor and put in dry dock at the Sparrows Point Shipyard for much-needed repairs. The historic vessels are scheduled to return to the water in a few weeks, but before they do we have a chance to visit them and learn about the boats and how historic ships are repaired. Please join us and our tour guide, Mr. Christopher Rowsom, executive director of Historic Ships of Baltimore (which owns these and other historic vessels), on a tour to see the Constellation and Torsk in a way that not many do: from the underside up!
