What better place to celebrate outstanding historic preservation work in Baltimore over the past year than at Lexington Market? We hope you agree and can join us on Thursday, June 15 for our 2017 Preservation Awards Celebration. All the food for our celebration comes from market vendors: Faidley’s Seafood, Mary Mervis, Berger’s and more market favorites.

The evening features this year’s preservation award-winners. The recipients range from people who rehabbed humble rowhouses to those who restored the expansive warehouse spaces such as Open Works and the Lion Brothers Building. We are honoring the public archaeology work of the Herring Run Archeology Project and the inspired writing found on the Baltimore Brick By Brick blog from Details Deconstruction. This work and the people behind it are at the center of what keeps Baltimore’s history and historic places alive. We are pleased to invite you to this event where we thank our award winners for their commitment to Baltimore.

Our celebration will take place on Thursday, June 15, 2016. In addition to catching up on the fantastic award-winning preservation work around Baltimore, we are offering guided tours of the hidden “catacombs” under the west market and the walkway around the top of the east market. The catacombs are normally closed the public, so here is your chance to see this underground space! Find more details on our events calendar or register today.

This year’s celebration is generously supported by our 2017 sponsors: Agora, Delbert Adams Construction Group, FreedomCar, GLB Concrete Construction, Murdoch Architects, PNC, Southway Builders, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, and Zeskind’s Hardware and Millwork.

Thank you as well to our co-sponsors: Cho Benn Holback, a Quinn Evans Company, GWWO Architects, Rohrer Studio, SM+P Architects, and Ziger/Snead Architects. And to our supporters: McLain Wiesand, Michael J. Walkley, PA, O’Connell & Associates, and Terra Nova Ventures.
