2 county historic sites to get $100,000 each
State preservation grants go to Thomas Point light, Hammond-Harwood house
Two historic sites in Anne Arundel County, the Hammond-Harwood house in Annapolis and the Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, will each receive state-funded grants of $100,000 to help with preservation efforts.
Gov. Larry Hogan announced the grants Tuesday, and officials said it’s the first time in nearly a decade that the Maryland Historical Trust’s capital grants have been fully funded.
In 2017, the General Assembly passed legislation to request more money for preservation from the governor. In a statement, Hogan said his administration was happy to restore funding to the program, citing the need to preserve historic architecture across the state.
The Hammond-Harwood house will get $100,000 toward restoration of the building’s ceilings and glass windows, many of which date back to the home’s construction in 1774, said the house’s executive director, Barbara Goyette.
