Strawbridge Methodist Church
Baltimore Heritage is supporting the Save Strawbridge Church committee formed in June 2012 by the Mt. Royal Improvement Association. The United Methodist Church has stepped up its efforts to improve and sell Strawbridge Church at the corner of Wilson Street and Park Avenue. The MRIA Committee has met with both the City and the owners, and, as a result, the old chimney was removed and new gutters and downspouts were added, making the walls more stable. The building is still underwater financially, so financing and/or a viable plan for its use, other than a vacant lot, is necessary to save it.
Franklin/Delphy Hotel
The Franklin/Delphy Hotel was damaged by a severe fire in the 500 block of North Howard Street next to the Mayfair Theater and, ultimately, demolished in May 2016. The Franklin/Delphy Hotel was a CHAP designated landmark.
Mount Vernon Place
Led by the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy, a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 by leaders from the Mount Vernon Belvedere Association and park advocates, the restoration of the Washington Monument included stabilizing and restoring deteriorating masonry, installing new lighting and ultimately reopening the monument to visitors in July 2015.
